And what if Adams doesn't accept the position? I don't remember law requiring you to become VP, he can back out in favor of 3rd place and then run again later.

And you're forgetting Hamilton. He's a Federalist "gun", too.

i don't think Adams' honor would allow him to do that


Hamilton.... i don't think Alex ever really wanted to be President, he liked being the power behind the thrown so to speak
 
Hamilton can't run for President ever again because of the sex scandal he was involved in. He could make an interesting Secretary of State for Adams because they were good friends up till Hamilton endorsed Pickney over Adams in 1800 and Adams felt that Hamilton lost him the election.
