Question 2 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2
Gerald Ford became president in 1974 after Richard Nixon resigned; Ford had been appointed vice president, not elected in a special election. He continued many existing policies and served the remainder of Nixon’s term. Ford lost the 1976 presidential election to Jimmy Carter, so the best summary is that he assumed office after Nixon’s resignation, continued many of Nixon’s policies, and did not win reelection.
