Gerald R. Ford, 38th US President, is the ONLY man in US history to have served as both Vice-President and President, without election to either office. He was appointed VP when Nixon's elected VP (Spiro Agnew) resigned over a scandal. When Nixon himself resigned over the Watergate scandal, Ford, as VP, became President.
