He was a congressman who was chosen by Nixon to become president. At that time, Nixon and his VP both had scandals of their own and both had to resign, so Nixon picked Ford as the next president.

Ford becoming President was unique because he is the only person to have held the office of President without being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. He ascended to the presidency after Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned and President Richard Nixon resigned, making him the only person to become President without winning a national election.
