Guess the Highest Elected Office Held by Each President Before Taking Office
Some Presidents held multiple offices. This quiz will only show their highest office before their election. "None" is an option. Some may have come to an elected office through means other than election such as filling a vacant Vice Presidency, which will still count.
For Senators and Governors you must include, "of (their state)" and for Members of the House of Representatives it should be answered as, "US Representative from (their state)".
Does NOT include appointed offices such as cabinet secretaries, military offices, judicial offices or territorial governors
Speaker of the House is still a form of US Representative so is still outranked by a senatorial or executive office
1) Gerald Ford was never elected as vice president. He was appointed to the position after Spiro Agnew resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal. So according to the rules you've set for this quiz the answer for him should be US Representative from Michigan.
2) How about just vice president (or VP) as an answer? Having to type out "of the United States" is redundant and takes a lot of time.
3) Or just add more time if you want people to type everything out.
Thank you. I took your advice, and Vice President is accepted as an answer. I've also made some clarifications to the instructions so that its clearer in Gerald Ford's case. I'm going to keep him as VP since it is an elected office even if he technically wasn't elected to it, but I've made it clear in the rules that that still counts. Thank you for the helpful and constructive criticism. I think it will make the quiz much better.

Otherwise great idea and well done!
