john quincy adams won on the first ballot. now, they're enormously complicated reasons why this happened and we won't talk about them today, but we need only be aware that adams was elected on the first ballot to everyone's surprise. mostly to the jacksonites. jackson at first was magnanimous, which strikes us, perhaps, as an act. then the very night after the house vote, jackson and adams came face-to-face. again, from the book. the monroes held their weekly reception and while everyone seemed drained by the experience, they were also grateful that despite the angry talk, broad recriminations and a grinding apprehension, the election in the end had been decided with a calm dignity. the president's gathering was not festive, but it was uneventful, which was pleasant for people weary of events. a kindred spirit pervaded. and contrasted with is it the -- country that attended this selection. president and john quincy adams stood in the middle of the room and received them with a drawn smile and stiff bows. >> he felt a press of p

john adams and john quincy adams, john quincy adams was president when his father died. hn adams was buried before his son could even hear the word of it. this is a unique moments. never in our history have we had one former president be buried, eulogized by another former president was his son. it was a moment, it was next ordinary moments. he had a close and personal relationship with barbara and george h.w. bush as well as bush 43. he given gave an magnificent og address. i think a lot of people were probably surprised to hear today during his remarks, he talked about how after he left the prime minister ship of canada, and after president bush left office, for years thereafter, he and his wife were invited by george and barbara bush to spend labor day with them. we were that close. it is a really remarkable testament to the friendship between our two countries and between these two leaders. al simpson who was expected to be the comic relief, he certainly provided to put in a way that was deeply revealing of the human characteristics of the great humility and joy and f

john adams and john quincy adams were father and son.g the son eulogize the father has will happen today. but history aside, the emotion of a moment like that, the task of speaking about the man who has meant the most to you in your life as a mentor and as a man and maker, the core of your person. and now president to president in front of this type of crowd, i'm not talking about as a political challenge. i'm saying as a personal challenge to balance all of these things, not easy. because this was real. there is nothing fake about the love between a father and son here. >> no question. i will tell you something that probably won't surprise you. he didn't want to give the eulo eulogy. he felt he would be too emotional. but the family came to him and said, you have to do it. one of the reasons it will be very hard is because in the days after 9/11 there was a service here and bush 43 spoke about it. and he said it was his favorite moment of his presidency between father and son. you will remember when he came down afterwards. his father l

there is a special relationship in history, john adams and john quincy adams were the first father and son to serve as president, and when 43 was asked to write a book about 41, one of the things he asked his dad was, how did you find the strength to conduct yourself with such grace and dignity and 41 said, i had no choice. that is because he chose to live, not readily, which is again, why i think you see this tremendous outpouring, and a very sad day, you are showing the pictures of him on his parachute jump. he just loved life and wanted to experience all of it. >> shannon: he absolutely did. bret, we are looking back at some of his quotes over the years. he was pithy at time and pointed, not afraid to make fun, but something very pointed he said, speaking to a joint section of congress in 1991, he said, "if anyone tells you that america's best days are behind her, they are looking the wrong way." he was always so hopeful and optimistic and always betting on this country. >> bret: always prayed i love the picture of president bush and barbara bush doing the coin toss at the super bow
