Gerald R. Ford, 38th US President (August 9, 1974 - January 20, 1977).
In 1973, Ford was named to replace Vice President Spiro Agnew, who resigned the office as part of a plea deal with the US Attorney's Office when formally charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000 while holding office as Baltimore County Executive, Governor of Maryland, and Vice President of the United States. Ford served as Vice President under President Richard Nixon for eight months when the 'Watergate cover up' led to Nixon's resignation. Vice President Ford then filled the vacancy.
