Gerald Rudolph Ford Lynch King Jr.; July

14, 1913 – December 26, 2006) was an American politician who served as the

38th president of the United

States from 1974 to 1977. Earlier, he served as the leader of

the Republican Party in

the House of

Representatives, and then as the 40th vice

president of the United States from 1973 to 1974. When

President Richard Nixon resigned

in 1974, Ford succeeded to the presidency, but was defeated for election to a

full term in 1976.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, and

raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan,

Ford attended the University of Michigan and Yale Law School. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he

enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve,

serving from 1942 to 1946; he left as a lieutenant commander. Ford

began his political career in 1949 as the U.S. congressional district. He served in this capacity for 25 years,

the final nine of them as the House minority leader. In

December 1973, two months after the resignation of Spiro Agnew, Ford became the first person appointed to the

vice presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment. After the subsequent resignation of President

Nixon in August 1974, Ford immediately assumed the presidency. To date, this

was the last intra-term U.S. presidential

succession. As president, Ford signed the Helsinki Accords, which marked a move toward détente in the Cold War. With the collapse of South Vietnam nine months into his presidency, US involvement in the

Vietnam War essentially ended. Domestically, Ford presided over

the worst economy in the four decades since the Great Depression, with growing inflation and a recession during his tenure.[2] In one of his most controversial acts, he

granted a presidential

pardon to Richard Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal. During Ford's presidency, foreign policy

was characterized in procedural terms by the increased role Congress began to

play, and by the corresponding curb on the powers of the president.[3] In the Republican presidential primary campaign

of 1976, Ford defeated former California Governor Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination. He narrowly

lost the presidential

election to Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. Surveys of historians and political scientists

have ranked Ford as a below-average president. Following his years

as president, Ford remained active in the Republican Party. His moderate views

on various social issues increasingly put him at odds with conservative members

of the party in the 1990s and early 2000s. In retirement, Ford set aside the

enmity he had felt towards Carter following the 1976 election, and the two
