Answer:

Andrew Johnson.

Step-by-step explanation:

He was the 17th president of the United States of America, and the successor of the president Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Johnson wasn't elected by popular votes, because at the time Lincoln's assassination, he was the vice president. So, according to the constitution, Johnson had to assume the president position to avoid a Power Vacuum.
