1. Nine (John Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, and George H. W. Bush. Former VPs Tyler, Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Arthur and Ford became President after the death or resignation of the incumbent, but were never elected to the office.)
2. Ford (born as Leslie Lynch King Jr. on July 14, 1913 in Omaha, Nebraska. His name was later changed and his family moved to Michigan.)
3. Zachary Taylor is said to have never voted in any presidential election (and possibly no other election for political office).

5. Andrew Jackson and his brother were captured by the British in 1781 during the Revolutionary War.
