President Ford was the only U.S. president never to have been elected president or vice president. Here are more answers from WikiAnswers contributors: * http://www.historymania.com/american_history/President_of_the_United_States == == * Gerald Ford was the only person to serve as President but not run for election as either President or Vice President. He was appointed VP under Richard Nixon when the elected VP, Spiro Agnew, resigned due to legal problems. Then, Nixon resigned leaving Ford to become President.
Gerald R. Ford passed away on that date at the age of 93.

Similarly, Bill Clinton started like as William Blythe and changed his name to Clinton when he was adopted by his mother's second husband, Roger Clinton. Rumor has it that Gerald R. Ford Jr. was adopted, but this is not true. Ford was born Leslie Lynch King to Leslie Lynch King Sr. and Dororthy Aver (Gardner) King. Dorothy left Leslie Sr. sixteen days after Jr. was born due to threats of violence and death by Leslie Sr. She moved first to Oak Park, Illinois, then to East Grand Rapids, Michigan where her parents lived. There she met Gerald Rudolf Ford. She divorced Leslie King Sr. in 1913, and married Ford three years later on 1 February 1916. They began calling Leslie Jr. Gerald. President Ford was never legally adopted by Gerald Ford Sr., but he did have his name legally changed to Gerald Rudolf Ford, Jr. on 3 December 1935.
