It is false. The election of 1796 resulted in a Federalist president and a Republican vice president.
Jefferson came in second in the presidential race of 1796 and in those days, that made him the 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.
Jefferson held both offices. He was elected vice president in 1796 when he came in second in the presidential vote. He was elected President in 1800 and again in 1804.
