Nelson A Rockefeller, 1974-77 was appointed to the Vice-Presidency following the resignation of Richard Nixon and the succession of Gerald Ford to the Presidency.

His predecessor, Gerald Ford, was also appointed to the Vice-Presidency, but did succeed to the Presidency on Nixon's resignation.

In 1836 the U. S. Senate had to elect the Vice President because none of the candidates received the minimum required number of electoral votes. Most Americans have never heard about this because there was nothing controversial about it. The Senate chose Richard M. Johnson, the candidate who had almost twice as many votes as the second place finisher but ended up one vote short of the required absolute majority.
