I agree, except Ford went from Congressman to VP after Agnew quit, and then became President after Nixon resigned. He pardoned Nixon and the voters dumped him for the very worst President ever.
Understood. President Ford was never elected to the presidency or as VP. He was appointed as VP, ascended to the presidency and lost reelection. I do not take anything away from the Ford presidency and I appreciate his service and efforts. But, he never won an election to that position. President Ford also caved too often to Democrat pressure and public opinion, IMHO.
President Ford was too conciliatory, I agree. However, he was NOT the worst President ever. In our time, Carter and Clinton are were much worse. Ford did NOT sell us out to the Chinese nor did he abuse the Oval Office. Compared to Carter, Ford did NOT leave us with double digit inflation, unemployment and interest rates. NOR did Ford abandon Iran, which many people believe began our current problems in the Middle East.
