Who was the only man to become president without being elected president or vice president?
Before the Twelfth Amendment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution), there were no official running mates as the president was the person what the most votes and the VP was the runner up.
Over a dozen people ran for the office before 1804, although Jefferson, running in 1800, had an informal running mate in Burr.

Gerald Ford was never elected by the popular vote. when the Ford-Carter debates were held- the Ford ads merely shouted ( not the automobile ones) President Ford! as they could not intone ( The People"s Choice)- in a sense Carter was a shoe-in, as Ford was not elected by the people- so in a sense Carter ran unopposed also! it was a tough call in the early Post-Watergate era, but, all things considered- the Republic survived.
Gerald R. Ford was never elected to the office of Vice-President or President of the United States by the Electoral College. He was appointed Vice-President on December 6, 1973, when Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew resigned. He later became the President of the U.S. on August 9, 1974, when President Richard M. Nixon resigned. He ran for President for the first time in 1976, but he was defeated by Jimmy Carter.
