约翰昆西亚当斯是美国第六任总统，也是第一位继其父亲之后担任总统一职的元首（老布什-George H.W. Bush-与乔治华盛顿布什-George W. Bush-则是史上唯二父子相继成为总统的另一对父子）。
约翰昆西亚当斯因为在外交上的成功而闻名，在门罗总统（James Monroe）任职期间担任国务卿一职时的表现更是广受好评，亚当斯在就任总统之前曾担任数个欧洲国家的大使、以及代表麻塞诸塞州的美国参议员，也是唯一一位在卸任后添加众议院的美国总统。亚当斯独立自主的意见与判断让他成为从不完全归属于某个政党的角色，而且他也绝对是唯一一位在白宫饲养一只短吻鳄当作宠物的总统！
John Quincy Adams was the sixth president of the United States and the first son of a former president who himself became president. (George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are the only other father-son presidents.)
John Quincy Adams was well known for his diplomatic success and most of all for his role as secretary of state under James Monroe. Adams had previously served as an ambassador to several European countries and as a U.S. senator from Massachusetts. He is the only president in history to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives after leaving the presidency. Adams's fierce sense of independent judgment meant that he never completely fit the mold of any political party, and he was surely the only president to have a pet alligator in the White House!
