James Madison accomplished a lot.
During his long political career, he served as a member of the Continental Congress, US representative, and Secretary of State in the administration of his close friend Thomas Jefferson.
He was also elected president in 1808. Madison's legacy as commander in chief was decidedly mixed - the British swooped in and burned the capital during his tenure.
