How can President Adams win two whole terms in office, from 1825 to 1833? Is it possible, or is Jackson simply too popular to beat in a one on one election?

Could you try spamming the election with candidates again, to force it into the House of Representatives? If this happens could you have J. Q. Adams win in the House again?
Right, so thus far, we have...
I). Try to flood the election with candidates, throwing it to the House again.
II). Somehow make sure President Adams does not appoint Henry Clay as Secretary of State.
I could see this working, though it might just make Jackson more aggressive the next time around.
you would need to get Calhoun more support throughout the country. He didn't have enough to become President, hence why he went for VP. And you would also need him to support a Nationalist doctrine.Well, on the subject of flooding the election with candidates, could old John C. Calhoun be made to run against Jackson? That would take South Carolina, and divide the OTL Southern Democratic voters.
I think a Jackson vs Clay or a Jackson vs Calhoun duel is not too implausible.Perhaps Jackson could get drawn into a duel and get shot? He certainly wasn't indesposed to meeting other men on the field of honor in OTL, and often for little or no reason. Maybe he becomes convinced someone looked at him wrong, while walking down the street, challenges the other man, and loses.
Would there be any candidate who would be willing/capable of filling Jackson's shoes in the case of his untimely death?
To have a very different Nullification Crisis.Is there any reason you would like to Adams to win instead of Jackson?

Slavery had been in the background even then. But it would still be very interesting to see what the South would be willing to do...Secession over tariffs?
