i think not because you cant just get random people to vote you president without a political party involved
George Washington.
Ford
Mexico's president is elected to a six year term but cannot run again.
Millard Fillmore aquired presidency without being elected
Gerald Ford was the only person to become both Vice President and President without being elected to either office.
The first president to be elected by the Democratic Party was Andrew Jackson. The Democratic Party arose from the earlier Democratic-Republican Party, and many Democrats see its beginnings there. The first president elected by the Democratic-Republican Party was Thomas Jefferson. The word "democrat," with a small 'd,' denotes a political process rather than a political party. So the question, without capitalization, asks who was the first democratically elected president; this was, of course, George Washington, if you are asking about the presidents of the United States.
George Washington. During Washington's two terms the Federalist and Republican (not the current Republican) parties were formed. John Adams was the first (and only) Federalist President, and Jefferson was the first Republican President.
Gerald Ford is the only person to have served as both vice president and president without ever being elected to either office.
Presidents who did not hold elected office before they were President are Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant, Herbert Hoover and Dwight Eisenhower.
Yes. The Democratic party didn't start until 1790 and the republican party didn't start until the civil war.Three independents have been elected president: George Washington, John Tyler and Andrew Johnson. However Tyler and Johnson later joined parties.One Federalist was elected: John Adams.Four Democratic-Republicans were elected president: Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams.Four Whigs were elected president: Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Filmore.Compare that to 17 Republicans were elected president and 15 Democrats were elected president.Also 1 Republican became the first and only president to be appointed to the position without being elected president or vice-president: Ford.
They were appointed as generals without any real military experience and they were chosen solely because of their political positions (much like the spoils political system where a president is elected and appoints only his close friends and allies to political positions).
