List of voters for the quote

James McHenry: The people are animated, sir. Remove the French threat, and they're likely to desert us. John Adams: Government by fear is no government at all, Mr. McHenry. Timothy Pickering: Your intransigence on this matter-- John Adams: [incensed] My intransigence? Timothy Pickering: Your stubbornness will be our ruin. You would surrender our party's interests to Mr. Jefferson and his so-called Republicans. John Adams: And you, sirs, are subservient to Hamilton, who ruled General Washington and would rule me, if he could. Mr. Jefferson, whom you despise, is an infinitely better man. [shouting] I would rather be vice-president under him, or resident minister to the Barbary pirates, than be indebted to a creature such as Hamilton for my present post! [beat] Now your immediate resignations will be accepted, gentlemen. Timothy Pickering: I-I do not feel it my duty to resign. John Adams: Oh... [sits back in chair, laughing] Excellent, excellent. Then you leave me with the far more satisfying remedy of removing you from office... Both of you.
