No US president went to Canada to avoid the draft. Jimmy Carter was sympathetic to such people and he issued a blanket pardon to them.
The president can make executive agreements with foreign heads of state that do not carry the status of treaty and so avoid Senate confirmation.
Eisenhower was the 34th president. He was named David Dwight but went by his middle name to avoid confusion with his father and started signing his name as Dwight David.
The Twelfth Amendment, ratified in 1804, prevents the electoral college from casting two votes for the same person for President, thereby ensuring that electors distinctly vote for a President and a Vice President. This amendment was established to avoid the confusion and complications that arose in earlier elections, particularly the election of 1800, where candidates received equal votes. It also outlines the procedure for the election of the President and Vice President and clarifies the process for resolving ties or disputes in electoral votes.
He was offered an annual salary of $25,000, which he tried to refuse. He eventually accepted it to avoid setting a precedent that might have kept all but the wealthy from seeking the presidency.
Excessive conformity stifles innovation. It also leads to uproductive behaviour. As a former public servant, I witnessed ridiculously unproductive activities because the behavioural norm was to avoid risk at all cost and punish those who seemed 'risky'. Was gobsmacked at the extent to which 'unusual' behaviour was frowned upon at the same time as pathetic paper-shuffling to avoid risk was rewarded.
Go to Canada or Mexico, or burn draft cards.
Frequent protest marches around government buildings and on college campuses. Many men eligible to be drafted burned their draft cards and went to Canada to avoid being drafted into the Army. Eventually, Richard Nixon was elected president with a campaign promise to end the war in Vietnam.
Yay, lets go to Canada!

To avoid chaos
The simple explanation: The US Constitution does not permit that the nation be without a chief executive. Therefore it is a practical matter, considering that the Vice president can act as the chief executive when the President is incapasitated. For the few moments that the former President is stepping down, and the new President is being sworn in, there would actually be no President, so to avoid the problem, the Vice President is traditionally sworn in first.

You're talking about a 'pocket veto'. To clarify: when a president vetos a bill, he refuses to sign it. He doesn't 'sign' a veto. He sends the unsigned bill back to congress with recommendations.
