Publisher's Summary
President Gerald R. Ford, a member of Congress on the verge of retirement, was selected by President Nixon to serve as vice president when Spiro T. Agnew abruptly resigned after being charged with accepting bribes. Within months, Ford would become president when Nixon himself was forced to resign in the wake of the Watergate scandal. An honest, square-jawed, straight-shooting Midwesterner, Ford pardoned Nixon, believing a pardon was the best thing for the country. The Nixon pardon—as well as Ford’s standing up to Congress on other issues—quickly ended Ford’s honeymoon and wrecked his chances for election in 1976. Yet Ford’s steady handling of the presidency during the unstable aftermath of Watergate ended up setting the nation on a safer course.
