Gerald Ford was elected neither to the Presidency, nor the Vice Presidency. He was appointed Vice President upon the resignation of Spiro Agnew, then became President when Nixon resigned. He was defeated by Jimmy Carter in 1976 when he ran for his own term.
Of course, you'll still have your leftist wags here who will say George W. Bush. I suggest you take such answers for what they're worth.

Gerald Ford. When Agnew resigned, Representative Ford was appointed VP. When Nixon resigned, Ford became president. If the assignation attempt on Ford would have been successful, Rockefeller (sp?) would have been President.
