Gerald Ford. He became vice-president under president Richard M. Nixon when Nixon appointed him as vice-pesident and the Senate confirmed him The appointment was needed because Nixon's cice-president, the one who had been elected, had resigned. Then when Nixon resigned over the Watergate scandald, Ford became president. The only person to become president without the benefit of election to vice-president or pesident. All other vice-presidents who succeeded to the presidency did so after they had been elected vic-president first.
