SATT 031.3 - John Quincy Adams Part Three
Tenure of Office: September 22, 1817 - March 3, 1825
Though his tenure as President was not as long as he would have liked, John Quincy Adams went on to have an impactful career after leaving the Cabinet (and the Presidency) by serving in the US House of Representatives. Will this earn him a seat at the table of Cabinet All-Stars? Listen to this final episode in the series to learn what I and my special guests, Åsa and Chris of A Flatpack History of Sweden and Kingdöm, thought of Adams's life and legacy.

Special thanks to Åsa and Chris of A Flatpack History of Sweden and Kingdöm for joining me for this episode!
