### Historical Civics, The Pence Card and John Adams

- **Published:** 2024-03-07

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1309-vaxsaline/chapter/historical-civics-the-pence-card-and-john-adams.md

The "Pence Card" theory is explored through the historical precedent of the 1796 election, where Vice President John Adams presided over his own victory. Alexander Hamilton challenged Vermont's electors, arguing they were chosen by resolution rather than statute. John Adams, as President of the Senate, unilaterally counted the Vermont votes for himself without allowing for meaningful objections, setting a precedent for the Vice President's power in contested elections.
