In Marbury v Madison, 5 US 137 (1803), William Marbury tried to get James Madison to deliver his commission. James Madison, who later became a US President, was Secretary of State under President Thomas Jefferson at the time.
John Adams was President when Marbury and his co-plaintiffs were appointed as justices of the peace for Washington, DC. Thomas Jefferson became President a few days later, and was responsible for preventing the commissions from being delivered. The Marbury v. Madison, (1803) case took place entirely during Thomas Jefferson's presidency.For more information about Marbury v. Madison, see Related Questions, below.

Thomas Jefferson was the man who had the fewest number of electoral votes and still became president. He had 73 during the election of 1800.
In the end Adams received 71 electoral votes, winning the election. Jefferson finished second with 68 votes. under the provisions of the Constitution at that time, the person with the second-highest number of electoral votes became vice president. Jefferson therefore became the new vice president. The administration that took office on March 4, 1797, had a Federalist president and Republican vice president. :D
