Summary

The election of 1808 was the first of only two cases where a new President would be elected, but the Vice Presidency remained in the same hands.

In addition to his re-election, Vice President George Clinton, who had served under Thomas Jefferson, was also an unwilling candidate for President, garnering six electoral votes from a wing of the Democratic-Republican Party that disapproved of James Madison.
