Shared note

Was never elected; became president upon the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Was in office 1865-1869. Is the only man in american history to attain all 4 kinds of public office - legislative, judicial, military, and executive - and was both Vice-President and President, yet he had no formal schooling. He was a tailor by trade, and his wife taught him to read and write. Only president to be impeached, but acquitted.
