Thanks

What links former US Presidents John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester Arthur?

They were not elected.

Neither of those are correct

Yes, which is why I clarified my question when I realised by omitting the phrase about it being something only they had done I’d unwittingly opened up more potentially correct answers. Apologies for the oversight

Not that

Entered in to office without winning an election?

 

[SuspectUsual]

I’m not going to be around for the next few days so probably best to give the answer and declare open floor.

Apologies again if the wording of the question was confusing
