ExclusiveJohn Quincy Adams: Old Man Eloquent

John Quincy Adams was the first US president whose father also had been a US president. Although he only served one term in office, he served in important political positions under his five presidential predecessors and became the only president to be elected to the House of Representatives after leaving the White House. Nicknamed “Old Man Eloquent,” Quincy Adams is a good example of a man who cared more about following his conscience than winning votes.
