Would you mind explaining this to those of us who are not US citizens? Our news last night was full of this quote, but I do not understand. Why do they say he was not elected? What is the difference between Ford and Johnson, or Truman (in 1945 - I realise he won a subsequent election), or any of the other deputies who succeeded a dead/deposed president?
