Which president was the only vice president to become president without following the president for whom he served as vice-president?

Of the 14 U. S. Vice Presidents who became President, the only one whose presidency did not immediately follow his vice presidency is Richard M. Nixon. He did run for president while still the incumbent vice president, but he lost that election (1960) and did not run again for president until 8 years later. It's interesting that Nixon preceded Lyndon Johnson as vice president, but Johnson preceded Nixon as president.


What is the number of all the presidents US have had?

As of the beginning of 2012, 38 people have been elected President of the United States. Another 4 people were elected Vice-President and, upon the death of the President, assumed the Presidency, but were never elected President. One person, Gerald Ford, was nominated by President Nixon and confirmed by Congress to replace Vice-President Agnew after Agnew's resignation, then assumed the Presidency a few months later when President Nixon resigned. Ford was never elected President OR Vice-President. Including Barack Obama, a total of 43 people have served as U.S. President. The reason why President Obama is referred to as the 44th President is that President Cleveland is counted twice due to his terms as President being non-consecutive.
