U. S. Vice Presidents of 1967-2017 Who Were Not Elected President:
Gerald Ford was Vice President and President without being elected.
Due to the Watergate scandal, Spiro T. Agnew was forced to step down from his role as Vice President. At that time Gerald Ford replaced him.
A few months later Nixon was also forced out of office. At that time Ford took over the office.
Gerald Ford was appointed Vice President by Richard Nixon after Spiro Agnew resigned due to legal troubles. When Richard Nixon resigned instead of going through an impeachment trial Ford became President. He was not elected by the people to either position.
All presidents that were legally elected took office, although William Henry Harrison died after only one month in office and was too sick during most of that month to do much serving.
Al Gore in 2000 and Samuel Tilden in 1876 won the popular vote but did not serve as president because the popular vote does not directly determine the president and they lost in the Electoral College vote. This was also true of Andrew Jackson in 1824 and Grover Cleveland in 1888 but these men went on to win the next election.
It should be noted that Andrew Jackson did have the most electoral votes in the election of 1824, but because he did not have more than half of them the House of Representatives elected the president, and they chose John Quincy Adams, who came in second in both popular votes and electoral votes.
Gerald R. Ford. He became Vice-President when Spiro Agnew resigned, and then President with Richard Nixon resigned.

No. Gerald R. Ford is the only American to have served as Vice-President and President without being elected to either office.
Gerald Ford is the only person to my knowledge.
1904. Its important to remember this is when he was elected President not when he first served as President.
Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, and he served as President from 1993-2001.
John Quincy Adams served one term as President then was elected to the House of Representatives in 1830. Andrew Johnson served as President, survived his impeachment and then served in the Senate beginning in 1874.
Ulysses S. Grant was elected in 1868. He served two terms as the 18th President.
A number of people have served as President without being elected President, the first such being John Tyler, who, as Vice-President, became President when William Henry Harrison died in office. However, Tyler was elected Vice-President.The person the question most likely has in mind is Gerald Ford, who was appointed Vice-President by Richard Milhous Nixon when then Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew resigned. When Nixon himself later resigned, Ford became President.It's not quite true to say that Ford was "never elected" ... he was elected to the House of Representatives as a representative of Michigan and was serving as House Minority Leader when Nixon appointed him Vice-President. However, he was certainly never elected to either the position of President or Vice-President.
