	I guess I'm not sure I like how you've worded this quiz. Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson were not elected as incumbent Vice Presidents. Each of those men took over the office of the President after their predecessor died, so each was re-elected as the sitting President. It seems like the question being asked is which Vice Presidents served terms then ran for President and were elected.

	Thanks for the comment. What specific portion of the phrasing creates your confusion? In reading my own phrasing, "post their service as VP" seems to address the concern that you raise. That is, if a sitting president ascends to the office of president due to the demise of the president whom he served, then is elected to the office in his own right, he has been elected US President post his service as vice-president, has he not? The matter of incumbency is neither referenced, nor suggested in the quiz directions as I wrote/read them here.

	I didn't understand that, either. Perhaps the title should be simply "Former Vice Presidents Elected President" and then in the instructions clarify that the quiz asks you to "name the presidents that had previously served as vice president but did not hold the office of vice president at the time of election to the presidency."

	Thanks for the comment, @_Burger. If the quiz were to adopt your suggested title & directives, two of the answers would require removal. If some opportunity arises to edit, I will add a line in the directions that specifies this quiz as asking for the seven US presidents who were elected to the presidency after having served as vice-president at any time (I'd underline, if it were possible) prior their election to the higher office.
