The year 1800 was an election year. The outgoing President was John Adams and Vice President was Thomas Jefferson. The incoming President elected that year was Thomas Jefferson and the Vice President was Aaron Burr.
The 1800 Presidential Election was contraversial because there was a tie in electoral votes and the election was decided by the House of Representatives.
John Adams was elected president in 1796 and Thomas Jefferson was the new vice president.
It is false. The election of 1796 resulted in a Federalist president and a Republican vice president.
The Presidential elections of 1796 were the third quadrennial elections. It was the first time that president and vice president were selected from opposing parties.
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.
John Adams was the only one who suffered this indignity, In those days, the presidential candidate who finished second was made the vice president. Thomas Jefferson finished behind Adams in 1796 and became vice president, but in 1800 he beat Adams and you might think Adams would be the his vice president, but they changed the law in time for the 1800 election.
