Ford used to bother my Dad a lot more. That is with regards to our country taking care of him. Evidently we never voted for him.........even as Vice President for Nixon. He was appointed after the Nixon election. I'm just a tad too young to remember that part.
Nixon's original VP was Spiro Agnew, he resigned and Nixon appointed Gerald Ford as VP, then when Nixon resigned Ford was elevated to the Presidency.
I didn't recall WHY Agnew resigned, Wikipedia says he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar accepting kickbacks from contractors when he was Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland, eventually pleading no contest to tax evasion. |
