GERALD R. FORD
Gerald R. Ford signs a philatelic envelope honoring his inaugural
day.
Philatelic Envelope signed: "Gerald R. Ford", 6½x3½. Inaugural
Cover on 10-cent Liberty Bell embossed envelope, postmarked Washington, D.C.,
August 9, 1974. Captioned: "Vice President Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr./sworn in
as 38th President of/the United States of America/August 9, 1974". On August 9,
1974, Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006) was sworn in as the nation's 38th
President (1974-1977) following the resignation of Richard Nixon. Ford had
previously served as Nixon's Vice President (1973-1974) following the
resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew, becoming the only man to have held
both of the nation's highest offices without being elected to either. Ford,
who was previously a U.S. Congressman from Michigan (1949-1973;
Minority Leader, 1965-1973), lost his bid for election to a full
four-year term partially as a result of his controversial pardon of his
predecessor. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999.
Ford was the nation's longest-lived former President, passing Ronald Reagan, who
also died at the age of 93. Fine condition.
