That's not true. There are others who took over when a president died or was assassinated. We had several.
But those were running as VP with the president when he was elected, hence they were elected. Ford was asked to take the VP position by Nixon when the current VP Spiro Agnew resigned. Then Nixon resigned in Aug. 1974 and Ford was sworn in as president. I remember it all well because I was in the military at the time.
Oh, Ok. Now, I understand what you meant.
How did you feel about serving under Ford instead of Nixon? Did you notice any difference?
To be honest I didn't really care. Politics in the military wasn't that big a deal back then. When I went in I was expecting to go to 'Nam but by the time I finished my training (18 months) Nixon had already started the draw down so there were very few deployments going in country. I got out of the military in early 1975 so Ford wasn't my CIC for long.
