Via Wikipedia.

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (July 14, 1913 - December 26, 2006) was the 38th (1974–1977) President of the United States. Ford also served as the 40th (1973–1974) Vice President.

He was the first person appointed to the Vice-Presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment, and upon succession to the presidency became the first (and to date, only) president in U.S. history to fill that office without having been elected either President or Vice-President.


He is also the longest-lived United States president ever, having surpassed Ronald Reagan's record on November 12, 2006.
