Which two vice presidents were not elected in a national election?

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.
