What are some similarities between john Adams the 2nd president and Harry Truman 33rd president?
For one thing, they are both on the list of the top five longest-lived U. S. Presidents (Adams is #3 and Truman is #5).
With the stress on the first syllable. The first 'a' is short (as in 'cat') and the other two are indeterminate.
Was a state law or state constitutional provision involved in Marbury v Madison?
Not exactly. The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 was directly related to shifting jurisdiction over Washington, DC, after the State of Maryland and Commonwealth of Virginia ceded small plots of land to the federal government in order to place DC entirely under federal control.
Congress enacted the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 in the latter part of February 1801 to accommodate changes to local government brought about by the transfer of land.
One of the provisions of the Organic Act allowed outgoing President John Adams to appoint as many low-level judicial workers as he believed necessary to serve as justices of the peace in Washington and adjoining areas of Georgetown, Maryland, and Arlington, VA. The legislative language was, perhaps, intentionally vague, allowing Adams to award 42 five-year commissions to members of his loyal Federalist party.
These forty-two men, who became known as the midnight judges for their last-minute appointment, were symbolic of Adams' largess and his attempt to use patronage to reward party loyalists, but were insignificant members of the federal judiciary whose actions did nothing to interfere with federal policy. In fact, they were little more than clerks.
Nevertheless, a handful of menial appointments became the source of a major power struggle between new President Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican party and outgoing President Adams' Federalist party.

Was Adam's 930 years the same as today's years?
There is no indication that the years referred to in the Old Testament of the Bible were any different from today. One reference point for this is the clear indications of a major decrease in life expectation after the flood, down to levels similar to today. If we were to disbelieve the Bible testimony about the pre-flood world life expectancy and adjust them by a factor of ten (to bring them into line with todays ages) then, to be consistent, we must also similarly adjust the post-flood ages. This is clearly in the realm of the ridiculous and would make Moses for example, to have died at the age of 12, having led the Israelites for 40 years in the widerness.
What was John Adams big problem while being president?
John Adams was a anti-federalist and his vice president was a federalist
His vice president is Thomas Jefferson
Which means they did not see eye to eye
He also had a problem- he made the alien and sedition act
This act stated something that went otherwise with the Acts of Confederation
this means he will have issues with becoming the president
if he does such as change a law he will probably not be president anymore
How did John Adams think of his qoute never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you?
