Gerald R. Ford

Gerald R. Ford was the 38th President of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977. He became president after Richard Nixon resigned due to the Watergate scandal, making Ford the only person to become president without being elected to either the presidency or vice presidency. Ford is known for restoring trust during a difficult time in American history, including granting a pardon to Nixon. Before his presidency, he served as Vice President and was a long-time Congressman. His leadership was marked by efforts to unify the nation and steady the government amid a period of political turmoil.
