Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. (born Leslie Lynch King Jr.; July 14, 1913 – December 26, 2006) was an American politician who served as the 38th president of the United States from August 1974 to January 1977. Before his accession to the presidency, Ford served as the 40th vice president of the United States from December 1973 to August 1974. The wedding was delayed until shortly before the election because, as The New York Times reported in a 1974 profile of Betty Ford, 'Jerry Ford was running for Congress and wasn't sure how voters might feel about his marrying a divorced exdancer.'
