He became vice-president in 1797 after the election of 1796. Thanks to Alexander Hamilton's quiet sabotaging behind-the-scenes, John Adams only had 3 more electoral votes than Jefferson, and the Adams presidency thus became the only one where the president and VP were from different parties.

∙ 12y agoJohn Adams was elected President in 1796, and Thomas Jefferson, who had the second greatest number of electoral votes was elected Vice-President. Adams served a single term of office, from March 4, 1797 to March 4, 1801. Many of his policies (such as the Alien and Sedition Act) made Adams unpopular, so he was badly defeated in the 1800 Presidential election. (Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received the same number of votes, and the deadlock had to be broken by the US House of Representatives. Jefferson was eventually named President; Burr was named Vice-President).
