Let's see.....

Bob Dole never was President or Vice President.

Dwight Eisenhower was the last President of 48 states, only President of 49 states, first President of 50 states.

Gerald Ford was never elected to either office, but served as Vice President and President.

USAF Sarge: You are a master of "Sesame Street"! I was looking only for Bob Dole never served as President, but you came up with two more "not like the others" that I hadn't thought about. Very good!
