The 12th amendment is that Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates will appear on 2 separate ballets.

There have been nine Presidents who did not win a presidential election before becoming President including four who won presidential elections after becoming President.

Gerald Ford, however, was appointed to the vice presidency after Vice President Agnew resigned in 1973, and he ascended to the presidency when President Nixon resigned in 1974. He ran for re-election in 1976 but lost to Jimmy Carter, so he never won either a presidential election OR a vice-presidential election.
