Gerald Ford aka Leslie King Jr. He became the Vice President when Spiro Agnew had to resign as Vice President, owing to his involvement in the tea pot dome scandal. And later when Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 due to Watergate scandal, he became the President.

What Presidents were not elected?
There were two Presidential elections decided in the House of Representativesbecause no one won a majority of the electoral vote.The first occurred in 1800 when of a glitch in the original Constitutional system (repaired by the 12th amendment not long after!) resulted in a tie between running mates Thomas Jefferson & Aaron Burr. The House eventually decided in favor of Jefferson, whom all understood to have been his party's intended nominee for President. Jefferson also won the electoral vote in 1804.The second was the multi-candidate race of 1824, in which no candidate received a majority of electoral votes. The House voted for John Quincy Adams. (This infuriated Andrew Jackson, who had received the most popular votes, and charged a "corrupt bargain" when eliminated candidate Henry Clay threw his support to Adams and was later named as Adams's Secretary of State. Likely there was no "bargain" -- and the move made sens in light of the similarity of Adams & Clay's policy views -- but the matter was very ineptly handled by Adams & Clay.)The presidents never elected "president" by the electoral college are:John TylerMillard FillmoreAndrew JohnsonChester ArthurGerald FordThey were elected "vice-president" by the electoral college before ascending to the presidency due to the death/assassination/resignation of their predecessors (with the exception of Gerald Ford who was never elected president or vice president by the college and Millard Fillmore who was elected by the Whig National Convention in 1848 for his vice presidency).(Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman and Theodore Roosevelt also ascended to the presidency due to death/assassination of their predecessors, but one can not say they were never been elected president by the electoral college because they ran again and were elected to be President.)
