Thomas Jefferson was elected the third president of the United States on February 17, 1801 after 35 indecisive ballot votes. For his presidential inauguration, Jefferson walked from his boarding house to the Capitol to demonstrate "Republican simplicity." Jefferson hated public speaking so much that he only gave two speeches in his presidency, one per term.
