"Except for Ronald Reagan."

I will help you see your error.

Ford served less than four years (remainder of Nixon's 2nd term). Reagan served eight years (two full terms).

Ford did 66 vetos in less than four years.

Reagan did 78 vetos in eight years.

Ford did more vetos per year, which is the claim I made, and have now proved for your understanding.

Yes, but Ford was still a RINO, and America lost South Vietnam on his watch because he wouldn't face down the copperhead 'Rats in the Congress of '75 who stabbed our ally in the back and let the Commies take over the whole damn country. No number of vetos makes up for that dishonor.

I've often thought that if President Thieu had just quickly arranged to rename Saigon 'Mayaguez', that they might have had a damn chance once Jerry got word of it.
