Who became a US vice president although he didn't wan't to be one?

Harry Truman did not want to be Vice President of the United States. Many people expected Harry Truman to be nominated for Vice President in 1944, but Truman constantly protested that he had no desire to be Vice President or even President. Truman went so far as to agree to nominate another politician as Vice Presidential candidate at the Democratic Convention. It took a call from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to urge Truman to stand for Vice President because the nation needed him. Although few were aware at the time, Roosevelt was seriously ill and knew he would not likely survive another term as President. Roosevelt wanted to be sure that the best person in the country would succeed him as President.
