He was elected Speaker of the House by a margin of nearly two to one over his nearest rival for the first time during his freshman term as Representative from Kentucky.
He served as Speaker for a total of ten years, the longest of any Speaker during the 19th century.
He had to resign his seat in order to help negotiate the Treaty of Ghent which ended the War of 1812 in 1814.
Whether or not he actually entered into a "Corrupt Bargain" with John Quincy Adams, the charge probably prevented him from achieving his greatest ambition: the Presidency.
One of his nicknames is the "Great Compromiser."
