Actually Ford wasn't the only one as the question implies. Andrew Johnson took office upon Lincoln's assassination and was never elected to a term of his own.

BrokenRambler38286, Here's the difference. Ford was appointed VP not elected with Nixon. Johnson was elected with Kennedy. So Ford was never elected to VP or President.

Gary, Ford was never elected vice president, as were the others mentioned in comments. The other three choices were never president.

Johnson took office with the assassination of Kennedy so he also was not technically voted into the presidential office

what about Lyndon B. Johnson? He took the oath on AF1 upon John F. Kennedy being announced dead!

Wendell Thomas, He pardoned Nixon because he felt it was time for the country to move on away from the Watergate scandal. Just like it's time now for the country to move on from the Russia investigation and get on with the business of governing the country
