Presidents obtaining office without being elected?

Asked by Poseidon (2293points) January 26th, 2023

I have been Watching “Commander in Chief” and the President died so the Vice President (VP) of course took over the Presidency.

As the VP took office without being actually elected to become President is this considered their first term or if he/she runs for re-election and wins is this considered their first term or their second term?

If it is considered their first term I assume they can run for a second?

Am I correct?
