in my teens, he was President, I though the world of Gerry Ford. wish he had been re-elected
Ford could not have been re-elected president, because he was never elected president.
Moreover, he was never elected vice president either.
That doesn't even make sense of course he could of been elected president again ...he didn't do two terms now did he?
Ford was never elected vice president. He replaced Spiro Agnew.
Ford was never elected President. He replaced Richard Nixon when Nixon was forced to resign. He only served the remainder of Nixon's term.
RE-ELECTED means "elected again".
No shit but that has no bearing on him being president again, what world do you live in?
Tell me what would of made it void if he beat Jimmy Carter in 1976 ?
If Ford had beaten Carter in 1976, he would have been ELECTED for the first time, not RE-ELECTED, although it would have been his second term.
I live in a world where people - sadly - haggle over trivial nonsense and are in a desperate need of studying a good dictionary.
