Ford took the oath of office on August 9, 1974, he declared, "I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances.... This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts." It was indeed an unprecedented time. He had been the first Vice President chosen under the terms of the Twenty-fifth Amendment and, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, was succeeding the first President ever to resign. Ford was confronted with almost insuperable tasks. There were the challenges of mastering inflation, reviving a depressed economy, solving chronic energy shortages, and trying to ensure world peace. President Bush Biography Vice President Cheney Biography Laura Bush Biography Lynne Cheney Biography The President acted to curb the trend toward Government intervention and spending as a means of solving the problems of American society and the economy. In the long run, he believed, this shift would bring a better life for all Americans. Ford's reputation for integrity and openness had made him popular during his 25 years in Congress. From 1965 to 1973, he was House Minority Leader. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1913, he grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He starred on the University of Michigan football team, then went to Yale, where he served as assistant coach while earning his law degree. During World War II he attained the rank of lieutenant commander in the Navy. After the war he returned to Grand Rapids, where he began the practice of law, and entered Republican politics. A few weeks before his election to Congress in 1948, he married Elizabeth Bloomer. They have four children: Michael, John, Steven, and Susan.

Quick Facts The Presidents GME Contents GERALD FORD Biography Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., became the 38th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES on Aug. 9, 1974, after Richard M. NIXON resigned to avoid probable impeachment as a result of the WATERGATE affair. For 25 years a REPUBLICAN member of CONGRESS without national ambitions, Ford had been appointed vice-president in 1973 by President Nixon to replace Spiro T. AGNEW , who resigned after being accused of bribery and of violations of the income tax laws. Early Life The only child of Leslie and Dorothy Gardner King, Ford was born on July 14, 1913, in Omaha, Nebr., and was originally named Leslie Lynch King, Jr. His parents were divorced when he was two years old, and his mother moved to Grand Rapids, Mich., where she met and married a businessman named Gerald R. Ford, who formally adopted the young boy and gave him his name. In school, young Ford was a good student and an excellent athlete. He became a star center on the University of Michigan football team and graduated from the university in 1935 with a B average. After graduation, he took a job as a football and boxing coach at Yale University. He was soon admitted to the Yale Law School, finishing in the top third of his class. With the outbreak of World War II, his fledgling law practice in Grand Rapids was interrupted. He entered the navy, served aboard an aircraft carrier in the Pacific, and was discharged at the end of the war with the rank of lieutenant commander. Ford returned to Grand Rapids and resumed his law practice. In 1948 he married Elizabeth Bloomer Warren, a fashion coordinator and former dance student whose first marriage had ended a year earlier in divorce. In the same year he entered the Republican

As Vice President, Ford traveled widely around the country, attempting to rally for the Nixon administration the support that had eroded as a result of the Watergate affair . His tenure as Vice President was short, however; when Nixon resigned on Aug. 9, 1974, Ford became President. He pledged to continue Nixon's foreign policy and to work to curb inflation. One month later he issued a complete pardon to Nixon for all criminal acts perpetrated by Nixon while he was President. In the 1974 election the Republicans suffered substantial losses, attributable both to Watergate and to the economy. To deal with the economic recession, Ford proposed (1975) tax cuts, limited social spending (with continued high defense expenditure), and heavy taxation on imported oil. The Democratic Congress opposed many elements of the program. Ford was defeated by Democrat Jimmy

Nixon, was honored as the recipient of the 2001 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award at a May 21 ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum. Legendary civil rights leader and U.S. Congressman John Lewis (D-GA) was also honored with a special Profile in Courage Award for Lifetime Achievement. The award presentation to Lewis marked the 40th anniversary of the 1961 Freedom Rides for which he risked his life and was beaten severely by mobs for challenging segregation at interstate bus terminals across the South. Lewis, who at age 23 was also one of the principal organizers of the March on Washington in 1963, was recognized for a lifetime career marked by extraordinary courage, leadership, and commitment to universal human rights. The presentation of a Profile in Courage Award for Lifetime Achievement is unprecedented.
