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.
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.
The United States has never had a publicly elected President or Vice President.
They are elected in a national election held every four years in the first week of November.
The presidents either died or resigned, and their vice presidents took office, or the vice presidents were elected on their own.

Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. Presidents are elected in December. The votes for president and vice president cast by the public in the November election elect members to the electoral college, and it is the electoral college that elects the President.
Gerald Ford holds that distinction. He became Vice-president after the elected Vice-president, Agnew, resigned and then became president when President Nixon resigned. He later ran for a term of his own but lost the election to Carter.
There have been four Vice Presidents who became President and then won an election: Teddy Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson.

How is the way vice-presidents are chosen today different from how they were chosen in the time of Adams's election in 1796?
I know sixteen u s presidents were governors before they were elected but I can't find out how many vice presidents were governnersbefore
All presidents have been elected to some government office, but Gerald Ford was the only one who was never elected as vice president or president. He did serve as a congressman, but was appointed, not elected, as vice president by Richard Nixon and took office after Nixon's resign without election.
A Federal Election... well it's basically where the whole country has to vote on who they want as Prime Minister and Members of Parliament. In order to have a federal election, the Governor General has to call one. This means, that the current parliament dissolves, leaving Cabinet to run government while the public chooses their new MPS...
