| | The United States was, at this time, drawn into the vortex of European complications, and Adams, instead of taking advantage of the militant spirit which was aroused, patriotically devoted himself to securing peace with France, much against the wishes of Hamilton and of Hamilton's adherents in the cabinet. | | | Partly for this reason, while Washington had the vote of every elector in the first presidential election of 1789, Adams received only thirty-four out of sixty-nine. | | | Unfortunately, in so doing, he used phrases savouring of aristocracy which offended many of his countrymen-- as in the sentence in which he suggested that ``the rich, the well-born and the able should be set apart from other men in a senate. |

| | The European Council (not to be confused with the Council of Ministers) refers to the twice-yearly, or occasionally more frequent, summit meetings of EU heads of government (plus the directly elected presidents of France and Finland) and the president of the Commission. | | | The European Parliament also pressed its case for an oversight role and France suddenly turned the choice of the ECB's first head into a political controversy, unsuccessfully demanding the position for Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the Banque de France. | | | The consequence of the scandal was to strengthen the relative power of the Parliament, but also to vest more authority in the president, on the grounds that he could hardly assume responsibility for the Commission without having greater influence over the running of its affairs and the selection of the key 'ministers'. |
