Gerald Ford in Congress

Former President Gerald Ford, the 38th President of the United States, was honored today by the United States at a state funeral held in Washington's National Cathedral. He is probably remembered by most as the only unelected Vice President and President in our nation's history. However, before becoming Vice President and later President, he served in the House of Representatives from January 3, 1949 to December 6, 1973, being reelected twelve times, each time with more than 60% of the vote.
