Healing the Nation –
Gerald R. Ford has the distinction of being the only person to occupy the offices of Vice President and President without being directly elected by the people. He was thrust into the Presidency in the midst of a constitutional crisis and set about to heal the wounds of the nation. His pardon of Richard Nixon would cost him the future election, while his program to restore draft-registers during the Vietnam War would ease internal tension. Ford was even gracious enough to pardon Robert E. Lee.
Frankness and honesty coupled with a gentle spirit endeared him to the people of the nation in spite of his refusal to bail the cities out of their economic problems. For the most part, Ford was a positive influence.
