How were Gerald Ford's prospects? FSogol May 2017 #2

Ford missed getting a second term by a hair. 1976 was close. He wouldn't have been eligible in '80 Bucky May 2017 #4

Jimmy Carter won by 1.6 million votes and 55% of the electoral votes. George II May 2017 #37

Right, but Ford still came pretty close. Bucky May 2017 #46

He was picked VP because the House has to confirm by 2/3 vote and CK_John May 2017 #13

The correct answer is he damaged himself by pardoning Nixon. FSogol May 2017 #24

I suggest you actually read the 22nd amendment. LeftyMom May 2017 #6

There is no chance of impeachment until after the 2018 elections and a new Congress CK_John May 2017 #18

You're predicting a Dem congress and Pence being elected twice? LeftyMom May 2017 #19

No, I'm thinking that it will take at least for any legal investigation to get pass CK_John May 2017 #25

IMO, DT45 would not have picked any VP unless he/she gave him a signed Nixon type pardon needing CK_John May 2017 #20

Nope, only if he becomes president on or after 20 Jan 2019. Spider Jerusalem May 2017 #21
