Gerald Ford is the only person ever to serve as President without being elected either President or Vice President. Richard Nixon won the 1972 election, with Spiro Agnew as his Vice President. After Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973, Nixon appointed Ford as V.P., under the 25th Amendment (ratified in 1967). Ford was confirmed by a majority vote of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and became V.P. on December 6, 1973. On August 9, 1974, Nixon resigned as President, making Ford the President. In the 1976 election, Ford ran for re-election on the Republican Party ticket, but was defeated by Jimmy Carter.
