Ok I was in High School when Ford was President and when he lost to Carter(the peanut farmer) in 1976
he was one of the few Presidents that (as the artical states)
thought that the Gov't belonged to the people and opened up some of the Secrets in a bad time in America-post war and watergate and a terible economy.
But I will be the first to admit that I remember Gerald Ford as...
While Ford was President, though still athletic and in good health, he had the unfortunate luck of slipping and falling several times, and it always made the news. Once, while playing golf, his drive accidentally drifted into a crowd of spectators and struck a lady on the head. The clip was repeatedly aired on television, and Ford's seeming clumsiness was parodied ruthlessly by Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live.

it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -
lest it come to dominate our lives and interests". – Patrick Henry
