Second U.S. president (5)

I believe the answer is:

adams

(Other definitions for adams that I've seen before include "Presidential father or son" , "Name of two early US presidents" , "John Quincy --, sixth US president" , "Of untidy appearance" , "Father and son were American presidents" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
