While there have been several people who rose to the office of President of the United States without being elected to that office (e.g. John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur who were all elected as Vice Presidents, but never as President, and four others assumed the office of President then went on to be elected President), there are only two people who have ever become Vice President of the US without being elected to the post. Who were these two men and under what Presidents did they serve?
