During Adam's Presidency, America was pushed to the brink of war with France over the XYZ Affair. Many Americans pushed for a full-out war with France, but Adams felt that a war with France would be suicide for the young American nation. He refused to go to war, and as a result he was ostracized by the Federalists who saw him as a traitor to the Federalist cause and a weak president.
It was believed that Adams and Henry Clay had entered into a "Corrupt Bargain" to win Adams the presidency.

No. George Washington was elected twice without a vote cast against him. He retired after his second term believing it important that he leave office alive, showing that a president would not be a lifetime appointment. Washington thereby set up the informal rule that a president should only serve two terms. John Adams defeated Thomas Jefferson to become the second President.
