John Adams was the first President to serve as both Vice President (under George Washington), then President. Historians add his administration along with two-term George Washington to make the "Federalist Era". He was a one-term president (as was his son, John Quincy Adams). From John Adam's presidency through John Quincy Adam's administration, the Secretary of State will become elected the presidency during the time some call the era of Congressional "King Caucus" nominating presidents.

No, Gerald Ford was not the only person to serve as both president and vice president. Before him, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had also served in both positions. Jefferson was Adams' vice president before becoming the third president of the United States.
They both serve four-year terms.

Certainly! There are many Vice-Presidents that have served as President, both because of the death of a president and because they were elected.
The vice-president and president are elected together as a team. Unless one of vacates his office prematurely, they both serve the same 4-year terms.
