杰拉爾德·福特于1974年8月9日宣誓就職成為美國第38任總統(tǒng)，當時他表示：“我在此非常時刻就任美國總統(tǒng)……這是讓我們身心俱疲的歷史一刻?！?/p>
福特是第一位根據(jù)憲法第二十五修正案當選的副總統(tǒng)，并在“水門事件”后，接替首位辭職的美國總統(tǒng)出任總統(tǒng)一職。
作為總統(tǒng)，福特給予了前總統(tǒng)尼克松全面的赦免，以期平息之前的爭議。
在擔任國會議員以及任職總統(tǒng)期間，福特都將自己視為“內(nèi)政上的溫和派、財政事務(wù)上的保守派以及外交事務(wù)上不折不扣的國際主義者”。
福特的辛勤工作甚至得到政治對手的稱贊。
在宣誓就職之日，卡特總統(tǒng)在演講開頭時說：“為了我自己也為了我們的國家，我想要感謝前任總統(tǒng)為治愈我們這片土地所做的一切?！毙膽迅屑さ娜藗冑澩@一說法。
明天，我們將分享下一任總統(tǒng)吉米·卡特的故事。
美國第三十八任總統(tǒng)杰拉爾德·福特英文介紹原文：
#U.S. Presidents# (#38) Gerald R. Ford (1974-1977)
When Gerald R. Ford took the oath of office on August 9, 1974 as the United States' 38th President, he declared, “I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances…This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts.”
Ford had been the first Vice President chosen under the terms of the Twenty-fifth Amendment and, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, was succeeding the first President ever to resign.
As President, Ford tried to calm earlier controversies by granting former President Nixon a full pardon.
Ford continued as he had in his Congressional days to view himself as “a moderate in domestic affairs, a conservative in fiscal affairs, and a dyed-in-the-wool internationalist in foreign affairs.”
Ford's hard work was acclaimed even by his political opponents.
On Inauguration Day, President Carter began his speech: “For myself and for our Nation, I want to thank my predecessor for all he has done to heal our land.” A grateful people concurred.
Tomorrow, we will share about the next President - Jimmy Carter.
