SGT Scott Bell,
That includes Vice-President, correct, so Pres. Ford and Pres. Johnson would not count, right, because although they did not get elected to be President (Pres. Johnson later won his on term) they were the Vice-Pres. when they assumed the POTUS. I've got to think on this one a moment.

Ford was Speaker of the House and was appointed to the vice presidency after Agnew resigned, and subsequently the presidency.

Gerald Ford was appointed Vice President by Nixon when Spiro Agnew resigned. He then stepped up to President when Nixon resigned. So he was not elected VP or President. In every other case where a President died in office, the VP was at least elected!

COL Jon Thompson, That's right I forgot about that he was not elected Vice President either so it would be Pres. Gerald R. Ford.
