Thomas Jefferson was elected President, and Aaron Burrwas elected Vice-President in the 1800 Presidential election. The election was decided in the House of Representatives after Jefferson and Burr (from the same political party) inadvertently received the same number of electoral votes.
Under the original plan of the Constitution, each elector cast two votes, and the candidate with the second largest number of electoral votes became Vice President. This proved unworkable with the advent of political parties, as each party had to plan some intricate way for two of their candidates to achieve the necessary votes.
Technically, both Jefferson and Burr were running for President, and the plan to have Burr receive one fewer vote went awry, each receiving 73 votes. The incumbent, President John Adams, received only 65 votes.
The 12th Amendment to the Constitution (ratified June 15, 1804) established separate ballots for President and Vice President, making this type of "tie" impossible and making it unlikely that the elected President and Vice President could be from different parties, as had occurred when Jefferson was the Vice President under Adams (1797-1801).
John Adams was the US president in 1800. He served from 1797-1801.
Thomas Jefferson became president in 1801 and served until 1809.
On a side note:
Thomas Jefferson and his "running mate" Aaron Burr both received an equal amount of electoral votes to become president, so the House of Representatives had to vote to decide the president, and it chose Thomas Jefferson over Aaron Burr.

Harrison. His supporters created the image of him as a war hero and cited the Battle of Tippecanoe 28 years earlier. It is true he had been commander of the battle he was actually criticized for his actions. The Shawnee warriors had surprised his troops and the soldiers casualties were high, but by 1840 the details of the battle had been forgotten. The Whigs promoted him as the "log cabin " candidate and that he had grown up in a humble log cabin. The truth was he was a Virginia aristocrat and had a classical education. His father had signed the Declaration of Independence. Yet, the log cabin became the symbol of his campaign and for the first time campaign songs entered American politics. Not only was the 1840 campaign known for the songs and slogans, but the man who won had the shortest term in office of any American president. Harrison took office on March 4, 1841 and delivered the longest inaugural speech in history. He spoke for 2 hours and it was a very cold day. As a consequence he developed pneumonia and never recovered. One month later he was dead and became the first president to die in office.
