Gerald Ford 38th president (apr 21, 1913 – jul 26, 2006)
Description:
His real name was Leslie Lynch King, Jr.
Remember this for the next trivia night at your local bar: Ford is the only president to never be elected by the voting public to president or vice president (first Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned, followed shortly thereafter by Nixon).
Ford’s daughter Susan hosted her senior prom at the White House.
Two different assassins tried to take Ford’s life within over a span of 17 days. Both were women.
