Additionally, John Quincy Adams, elected President as a
Democratic-Republican, later became a National Republican, then a
Anti-Masonic, and then a Whig after he was elected to the House of
Representatives in 1831.
Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur,
and Benjamin Harrison were Whigs before switching to the Republican
Party, from which they were elected to office.
