In 1825…the House of Representatives elected the President

About two weeks ago, I sent out this blog, Is there another choice?, on the fact that there could be a chance that another person could derail both political parties in his bid for President as an Independent.   The readers who responded said, “It is too late. There is no chance.”

It seems that this candidate, Evan McMullin,  is banking on a strategy that has not been successful since 1824…but could it be a possibility considering the dislike of many people for both of the other choices?

Do you know how the House of Representatives plays into this stategy?   Here are the facts:

John Quincy Adams was elected President on February 9, 1825. The election was the only one in history to be decided by the House of Representatives under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution after no candidate secured a majority of the electoral vote.

Look at this link which explains the pros and cons on Mr. McMullin’s run and the hope that history could repeat its self.  (See    Strategy    )

Below is the content of the first post with a video of Mr. McMullin, in case you missed it: “Almost everyone that I have talked to since the Democratic and Republican conventions, have said that they are “holding their nose” as they go to the voting polls this November. We know that huge amounts of money have been spent, as well as billions of words uttered, to promote two choices, but is there another choice?  ”
