Yes, John Adams was the only Federalist Party member ever elected President. He served a single term, from 1797-1801 (elected 1796). Thomas Jefferson, who founded the rival Democratic-Republican Party (originally called the Anti-Federalists in reaction to the Federalists' policies favoring a strong central government), unseated Adams in the 1800 Presidential election.
