Chosen by President Nixon to fill the office left vacant by the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew, Ford assumed the presidency after Nixon himself resigned. As president, Ford, known as an impeccably honest official, had the unenviable task of trying to restore the American people's faith in the federal government after the Watergate scandal.
