This was the first official portrait taken of 38th U.S. President Gerald R.
Ford. A former All-American football player at the University of Michigan
and a navy veteran of World War II, Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006) represented
Michigan in the U.S. Congress (1949-1973), serving as Minority Leader
(1965-1973). Following the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew, Ford
became in 1973 the first person nominated by the President and confirmed by
vote of both Houses of Congress as Vice President under the 25th Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution. Following President Nixon's resignation the following
year, Ford became 38th President of the United States on August 9, 1974.
Nominated by the Republican Party for a full term in 1976, Ford was narrowly
defeated by Democrat Jimmy Carter. Before his death on December 26, 2006, Ford
surpassed Ronald Reagan (who also lived to age 93) to become the longest-lived
former U.S. President. Slight wear to upper edge and corners. Lightly soiled on
mounting board. Otherwise, fine condition.
