Line 27:
* [[Commander Contrarian]]: As Vice-President to [[John Adams]]. So much so that his term highlighted a flaw in the American electoral process: that having the Vice-President be the candidate with the second-most votes in the Electoral College would likely lead to the President and the VP being from ideologically opposed parties, as the second-place candidate would almost certainly be the opposing party's presidential candidate.
* [[Humble Hero]]: He considered the State of the Union address a custom far too similar to a somewhat pompous British custom done by the kings known as the "Message From The Throne", so instead of delivering it in person, he sent a statement to be delivered by courier instead.
** There is a reason his gravestone does NOT list his presidency as one of his accomplishments. He felt what he did list was his gifts to his country. As for the presidency, that was the country's gift to him.
* [[Magnum Opus]]: The Declaration of Independence.
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]
