I was thinking that, but then Andrew Johnson would also fit the bill.
Good but not quite it. And I did say Johnson would fit this if not for the length of term of his predecessor.
Last hint. I said it involved their position but I didn't say which one. Hopefully I haven't made this too convuluted.

AH, so then are they the 3 VPs with the shortest term in that office before becoming president?

It does have to do with the VP position but not the length of term. It is what was done with the VP position.

They were not filled with a replacement VP?
Nope, I know that is wrong.

No, that is right. Those three took over for their predecessor after only being in office for a short period and served their Presidential term without a VP.
Others, including Johnson did the same but either took over during a second term (as Johnson did) or succeeded themselves and had a VP who served later.

I'll take the question then. But A. Johnson only served one term and didn't have a VP either.

But I explained that. He assumed office during Lincoln's second term so he didn't count. The others all assumed during their predecessor's first term and never had another of their own.

I don't know if they were all Germans, but they were all named after their inventors. (just checked and they were all Germans)

I was going to list Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift in the belief that The Misfits was the last completed film they all made before they died only I just checked and in fact Clift did make a few others afterwards, if only in minor roles. So instead...

Hmm. I can get the connection between you and Bierce but I just can't figure out where Wieringo fits in.
