We have to add the political oddity since that time regarding
Gerald Ford, who would be elected to Congress in 1948 from Michigan,
becoming, on August 9, 1974, the only man ever to serve as President
of the United States without being elected to the Executive Branch.
He is also the only person thus far to serve as Vice-President
without being elected to the position, as there was no provision in
the Constitution for the appointment of a Vice-President in the
event the office was vacated until the Constitution was amended
following the assassination of President Kennedy.
