People say that the Vice President is "only a heartbeat away" from the presidency because the vice president is first in the order of succession. If the President's heart should stop beating, the Vice President takes over the office.

Which two vice presidents were not elected in a national election?
I can only think of one: Gerald Ford. All other vice-presidents who later became president were at least elected vice-president first. However, Ford was not elected: the elected vice-president, Spiro Agnew, resigned due to criminal charges against him; Nixon nominated Ford as a replacement, and Ford became president when Nixon himself resigned. If you mean "not elected president", then there have been several. John Tyler was the first man to be elevated to the presidency because of the death of the elected president; he was referred to derogatorily as "His Accidency" because of it.

Can a DR be able to tell right away if conceived?
I am not sure how early you mean right away, but about five weeks is the earliest they can tell through an ultrasound. But at only five weeks a heartbeat will not be detected yet, just an embryo and the thickening of the uterine lining.
