John J. Adams

John Joseph Adams (September 16, 1848 – February 16, 1919) was an American politician and the 22nd President of the United States before being removed from office. Adams was born in New Brunswick, Canada, moving to the United States in 1864, graduating from Columbia Law School. In 1882, he would be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, but his term would not last long, as he was picked to be Walter Boyd's running mate in the 1884 presidential election. Adams would win the election with Boyd in a landslide.

Boyd would die of cancer into his first term, making Adams president. Soon after he was sworn in, newspapers published evidence that he was born in Canada, making him ineligible to be president. He would be removed from office, making President pro tempore Theron Moses Rice the 23rd President of the United States. Boyd would later attempt to assassinate President Beaumont Muller in his second term, being unsuccessful. He would die in 1919 of heart disease.
