Question: Who served as both president and vice president but was never elected to either office?

Answer: Gerald Ford. He was House minority leader but was named vice president in 1973 by President Richard Nixon after then-Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned over tax evasion charges. When Nixon resigned in 1974 in the wake of the Watergate scandal, Ford, as vice president, automatically became president.
