Nelson A Rockefeller, 1974-77 was appointed to the Vice-Presidency following the resignation of Richard Nixon and the succession of Gerald Ford to the Presidency.
His predecessor, Gerald Ford, was also appointed to the Vice-Presidency, but did succeed to the Presidency on Nixon's resignation.
In 1836 the U. S. Senate had to elect the Vice President because none of the candidates received the minimum required number of electoral votes. Most Americans have never heard about this because there was nothing controversial about it. The Senate chose Richard M. Johnson, the candidate who had almost twice as many votes as the second place finisher but ended up one vote short of the required absolute majority.
Aaron Burr received an equal vote with Thomas Jefferson in 1800, so became Vice-President elect only after Jefferson's election as President by the House of Representatives. So he was effectively made Vice President by Congress. Richard M Johnson, Martin Van Buren's running mate in 1836, fell one vote short of an Electoral College majority, and was elected Vice President by the Senate. Nelson Rockefeller was appointed Vice-President in 1974 by Gerald Ford, and confirmed by Congress under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.
Nobody ever was president who was not elected unless he was serving as vice-president when the President died or resigned. Gerald Ford, however, was appointed as vice-president and then became President when Nixon resigned.
Gerald R. Ford became Vice President under Richard M. Nixon after Vice President Spiro Agnew was forced to resign for tax evasion, he later became President after President Nixon resigned due to the Watergate Scandal currently he stands as the only man in American History never being elected to the 2 highest offices in American Government.
