It's possible, even likely. But WikiAnswers cannot make predictions
George B. McClellan promised that if he was elected president he would end the war.
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.
Mao Zedong held the office of President from 1954 until 1975. However, he was considered the "Paramount Leader" of China from the PRC's founding in 1949 until 1976. A formal constitutional office of President would not be established until 1982; the first President under the current constitution was Li Xiannian. Hu Jintao is the current President.
Being elected President of the United States by a comfortable margin in 1924 was likely his proudest moment.

The 22nd Amendment states that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once." With that said, it is possible, but would most likely not happen. Yes, but only if the former president "has time left." Presidents have term limits and if a former president has reached his/her limit then he/she cannot be VP because he/she would not be able to assume the office of president without violating the 22nd amendment.
By tradition the majority party member with the most seniority is elected. Daniel Inouye is sure to keep his position unless he dies.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times, in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944. He assumed the Presidency on March 4, 1933 and died in office on April 12, 1945, serving for a term of 12 years and 1 month.
Due to split division in the government and high tension with this president odds are not many bills of his will be able to be passed. Same situation would have likely happened if McCain was elected as well excluding he was less radical.
Theoretically, I suppose you could. You could also win every state lottery on the same day you were elected President of the United States. Neither is very likely to actually happen.
