A feverish congressman carried through a snowstorm to vote from his bed, in the election of 1800 that nobody won. A tie built into the Constitution, a running mate who wouldn't step aside, Alexander Hamilton choosing the man he hated, and the new president who walked to his own inauguration, then went home to the coldest seat at the table.
