John Adams was the only one who suffered this indignity, In those days, the presidential candidate who finished second was made the vice president. Thomas Jefferson finished behind Adams in 1796 and became vice president, but in 1800 he beat Adams and you might think Adams would be the his vice president, but they changed the law in time for the 1800 election.
