Jerry Ford was a SELECTED Preisident before he was elected.
My memory was that he an his RINO buddies Griffith, Michel, et. al, did Reagan dirty in the 1976 Republican Convention floor flight which delayed four years of "morning in America" and gave us four years of a very small man who was probably the most mean-spirted and bitter man to ever occupy the oval office.
SORRY. I had a SENIOR moment. Ford was NEVER elected to office from a national ballot. That was my point but I got lost somehow.
When they, the congress was working on the redo of presidential retirement, he was the first person whining.
