John Tyler was the first person to move up to president after being elected only as vice-president. Gerald Ford was appointed ( not elected) vice-president and moved up to President - he was the only to do that without being elected to either office.

Gerald Ford. He was vice president however he was appointed vice president and not elected vice president. He did become president because he was "next in line".

Gerald R. Ford served as both Vice President and later President of the United States of America without having been elected to either position. It came about partly because of the Watergate Scandal, but it originated from the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew (for some other scandal) and Ford's being chosen as Agnew's replacement.
