Gerald Rudolph " Jerry " Ford, Jr. (born Leslie Lynch King, Jr. ; July 14, 1913 – December 26, 2006) was the 38th President of the United States , serving from 1974 to 1977, and the 40th Vice President of the United States serving from 1973 to 1974. He was the first person appointed to the Vice Presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment , after Spiro Agnew had resigned. When he became President upon Richard Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974, he became the first and to date only person to have served as both President and Vice President of the United States without being elected by the Electoral College . Before ascending to the Vice Presidency, Ford served nearly 25 years as the Representative from Michigan's 5th congressional district , eight of them as the Republican Minority Leader .As President, Ford signed the Helsinki Accords , marking a move toward détente in the Cold War . With the conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam nine months into his presidency, U.S. involvement in Vietnam essentially ended . Domestically, Ford presided over arguably the weakest economy since the Great Depression , with growing inflation and a recession during his tenure. [2 ] One of his more controversial acts was to grant a presidential pardon to President Richard Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal . During Ford's incumbency, foreign policy was characterized in procedural terms by the increased role Congress began to play, and by the corresponding curb on the powers of the President. [3 ] In 1976, Ford narrowly defeated Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination, but lost the presidential election to Democrat Jimmy Carter .Following his years as president, Ford remained active in the Republican Party. After experiencing health problems, Ford died in his home on December 26, 2006. Ford lived longer than any other U.S. president , living 93 years and 165 days, while his 895 day presidency remains the shortest of all Presidents who did not die in office. James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981) and was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize , the only U.S. President to have received the Prize after leaving office. Before he became President, Carter, a Democrat, served as a U.S. Naval officer, was a peanut farmer, served two terms as a Georgia State Senator and one as Governor of Georgia (1971–1975). [2 ]During Carter's term as President, he created two new cabinet-level departments: the Department of Energy and the Department of Education . He established a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology. In foreign affairs, Carter pursued the Camp David Accords , the Panama Canal Treaties , the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II), and returned the Panama Canal Zone to Panama. He took office during a period of international stagflation , which persisted throughout his term. The end of his presidential tenure was marked by the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis , the 1979 energy crisis , the Three Mile Island nuclear accident , the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan , the United States boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow (the only U.S. boycott in Olympic history), and the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington state.By 1980, Carter's popularity had eroded. He survived a primary challenge against Ted Kennedy for the Democratic Party nomination in the 1980 election , but lost the election to Ronald Reagan , the Republican candidate. On January 20, 1981, minutes after Carter's term in office ended, the 52 U.S. captives held at the U.S. embassy in Iran were released, ending the 444-day Ira... read more
