The Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution <em>states that when a presidential candidate doesn't receives the majority of the electoral votes</em>, the decision will pass to the House of Representatives, where each state will have one vote.

The election of 1824 between <em>John Quincy Adams , Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and William Crawford</em> is remembered as the only time in which according to The Twelfth Amendment since no one received the majority of electoral votes, the decision was passed to the House of Representatives. It was the only time when a presidential candidate (Andrew Jackson) that received most of the electoral votes was not elected president, because the majority of votes is required to win.

<em>The House of Representatives elected John Quincy Adams as President of the United States. </em>

These reparations were a source of great dissatisfaction in Germany, contributed to its financial crisis in the period after the War, and paved a way for Hitler's government, because the frustrated  and desperate people were more likely to accept an extreme government.

mylen [45]

Explanation:


The appointment of heads of departments, not being within the Constitution, has been controlled since the start of the government to come back below the supply as yet quoted, and to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. During early administrations, approval of President's cabinet appointments by the Senate was considered a basic formality.
