Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006), 38th President of the USA, is the only US President who was never elected as either President of Vice President.

Eight Presidents were born British subjects: Washington, J. Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, J.Q. Adams, Jackson and W. Harrison.

The tallest president was Lincoln at 6’4″, and Madison was the shortest at 5’4″.
