President ford.he is the only one.
Gerald R. Ford is the one. He was appointed vice-president when the elected vice-president Spiro Agnew resigned and became president when President Richard Nixon resigned.
Gerald Ford, in 1974. First he became VP when Spiro Agnew resigned in '73, then ascended to the presidency when Richard Nixon resigned.
42 He was the youngest person to assume the presidency. He became President after the assassination of President McKinley. John Kennedy became the youngest elected President.
Andrew Johnson was never elected President. He was elected Vice-President under Abraham Lincoln, and ascended to the presidency due to Lincoln's assassination in April 1865. He was 56 years old when he became US President.
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.
Upon the death of President Harrison, John Tyler became the first vice president to assume the presidency. Tyler was nicknamed "His Accidency" by opponents because he seemed to gain the presidency by an accident of fate versus being elected to the office.
Actually, President Gerald Ford was not elected; he assumed the presidency in August 1974 after Richard Nixon's resignation due to the Watergate scandal. Ford was Nixon's vice president and became the first president in U.S. history to take office without being elected to the position. He later ran for a full term in the 1976 election but was defeated by Jimmy Carter. Ford's presidency was marked by efforts to heal the nation after the turmoil of Watergate.

William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia on April 4, 1841. John Tyler of Virginia became the first president to gain presidency because the elected president died in office.

A number of people have served as President without being elected President, the first such being John Tyler, who, as Vice-President, became President when William Henry Harrison died in office. However, Tyler was elected Vice-President.The person the question most likely has in mind is Gerald Ford, who was appointed Vice-President by Richard Milhous Nixon when then Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew resigned. When Nixon himself later resigned, Ford became President.It's not quite true to say that Ford was "never elected" ... he was elected to the House of Representatives as a representative of Michigan and was serving as House Minority Leader when Nixon appointed him Vice-President. However, he was certainly never elected to either the position of President or Vice-President.
