For the first time under the terms of the 25th amendment, the President (Richard Nixon) APPOINTED Congressman Ford to fill the vacant office of Vice President.

So far in US history, Ford is the only person who ever served as both President AND Vice President without ever running for EITHER office, or running in ANY nationwide election.
