Gerald Ford was never elected in a national election. He was appointed vice-president to fill out a term and became President when President Nixon resigned. He elected to Congress some 10 times by his Congressional district.

all of them No U. S. President has ever been directly elected by the people.
When the Constitution was first adopted, the only Federal officeholders elected directly by the vote of the people were "Representative" and "Elector" . Senators were selected by the State legislatures. President and Vice President were elected by the Electors in the Electoral College.
every president is elected for 4 years is what i hear

All presidents have been elected to some government office, but Gerald Ford was the only one who was never elected as vice president or president. He did serve as a congressman, but was appointed, not elected, as vice president by Richard Nixon and took office after Nixon's resign without election.

The President and Vice-president are elected, the President's cabinet is appointed. If the Vice-president dies in office, the President appoints a new Vice-president, pending confirmation of Congress.
