RIP Gerald Ford

Michaelangelo...

But if you'd read the rest of my post you'd have seen that that answer
is incorrect. GF was certainly not the only non-elected president.

The Wanderer...

Whooooooooosh! [1]

[1] Have I understood what the other person is saying?
Have I meant what I said? Have I said what I mean? [2]

[2] All others who succeeded upon the untimely departure (for whatever
reason) of the previous incumbent went on to be re-elected. Ford did not.
He lost to Jimmy Carter, ergo, he was the *only* President to have held
office without having been elected thereto.

Michaelangelo...

Nope. That is not what your original question asked.

The Wanderer...

The question I posed was clear, concise and accurate:-

The Wanderer...

Gerald Ford was not elected to office. Can you say that about any other
President?

To achieve the answer you intended the question needs to be something
along the lines of:

"Who was the only person to have served as President of the United
States but who was never elected to that Office?"

The Wanderer...

Now you're trying to wriggle over semantics to justify why you *thought* I
said something different.

Frogman...

Sorry must engage brain before putting fingers into typing mode :-)

The Wanderer...

Nay, nay, and thrice nay! It comes from people reading what they *think*
was written and what was *actually* written! :-)

See my reply to Michaelangelo in this thread.

come up with this gem. Inflation was rampant & Ford's
solution was to wear a button with the letters, WIN.
It meant (Whip Inflation Now) He was quite a character.

RIP old fellow.
