He was elected president by the House of Representatives 204 years ago today, February 17, 1801. Thanks to Wikipedia for pointing that out.

"An electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr is resolved when Jefferson is elected President of the United States and Burr Vice-President by the United States House of Representatives."
