John Adams was elected U. S. President in 1796. However, because of the way the Vice President Elect was determined before 1804, and because electors were casting their second ("vice presidential") votes for so many different people, instead of Adams' "running mate", Thomas Pinckney, getting the Vice Presidency, it went to the 2nd place finisher, Adams' opponent, Thomas Jefferson.
