John Adams was President when Marbury and his co-plaintiffs were appointed as justices of the peace for Washington, DC. Thomas Jefferson became President a few days later, and was responsible for preventing the commissions from being delivered. The Marbury v. Madison, (1803) case took place entirely during Thomas Jefferson's presidency.
