It lead to the creation of the Twelfth Amendment, which addresses the issue of choosing the Vice President. The protocol prior to this election was that the Presidential candidate with the most votes would win the office of President, and the second-place candidate would be awarded the office of Vice President. However, this system became flawed in 1800, and it became clear that this could not be a permanent system. The Twelfth Amendment was written in order to solve that problem.

When does Ireland have elections?

An Irish parliamentary term is at maximum 5 years. A general election can in theory come quicker than that, should a government fall and an election is called, but 5 years is the longest term allowed. Local elections for councils must happen every 5 years and have a fixed cycle. By-elections happen occasionally, usually due to the death of an elected politician. Elections to the European parliament occur every 5 years too, having a fixed term. An Irish President has a maximum term of 7 years, but can serve 2 terms. If the main political parties all agree on one candidate, there does not have to be an election for the President. An Irish President is the head of state, but has no political powers. The last general election was in May 2007, so there must be an election by May 2012. The current President's term ends in 2011. There will be a new President as the current President, Mary McAleese, is on her second term. Local council elections and European elections are due to happen in June 2009.
