Nixon v. General Services Administration: Nixon v. General Services Administration, 433 U.S 425 (1977), is a landmark court case concerning the principle of presidential privilege and whether the public is allowed to view a President’s “confidential documents”.  The Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act, signed into law by President Gerald Ford in 1974, ordered that the Administrator of General Services obtain President Richard Nixon’s presidential papers and tape recordings.  In addition, the Act further ordered that government archivists seize these materials.  These archivists would preserve the material deemed historic and return to former President Nixon the materials deemed as private.  Furthermore, this Act stated that material that was preserved could be used in judicial hearings and proceedings.  Immediately after this Act was enacted, Richard Nixon filed a lawsuit in a federal district court claiming that the Act violated the principle of separation of powers, the principle of presidential privilege, Nixon’s personal privacy, his First Amendment right of association, and further asserted that it amounted to a constitutionally prohibited Bill of Attainder.

United States vice presidential selection, 1974: In 1974, Republican President Richard Nixon was forced to resign following the Watergate Scandal.  Vice President Gerald Ford ascended to the presidency, leaving the office of vice president vacant.  Under the terms of the 25th Amendment, a vice presidential vacancy is filled when the president nominates a candidate who is confirmed by both houses of Congress.  On August 20, 1974, Ford announced his nomination of former New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller to fill the vacancy.  Ford also considered picking Tennessee Senator Howard Baker and former Republican National Committee Chairman George H.W. Bush.  Rockefeller was generally considered to be a liberal Republican, and Ford decided that picking Rockefeller would help his candidacy gain support in the 1976 presidential election.  The confirmation hearings for Rockefeller lasted for months, but Rockefeller was sworn in as the 41st Vice President of the United States on December 19, 1974.  Due to the pressure on Ford by the party conservatives, Rockefeller was ultimately passed over for the 1976 ticket, and Ford instead chose Bob Dole as his running mate.  Ford, however, regreted this move later.

Congress approved $5 million in total tax-payer contributions ($ in 2016 dollars) for both the state and national conferences as HR 9924 sponsored by Congresswoman Patsy Mink, which Ford signed into law.  In 1977 President Jimmy Carter chose a new Commission and appointed Congresswoman Bella Abzug to head it.  Numerous events were held over the next two years, culminating in the National Women's Conference in November 1977.  Historian Marjorie J. Spruill argues that the anti-Feminists led by Phyllis Schlafly had a more successful follow-up.  They moved the Republican party to the right and defeated the ERA.

The Fords settled on his name as a compromise.
