The inauguration of Gerald Ford as the 38th President of the United States took place on August 9, 1974.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/pihtml/pioaths.html )〕 It was the most recent non-scheduled presidential inauguration in American history, and marked the commencement of the two-and-a-half-year term of Gerald Ford as President, following the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Ford had become Vice President on December 6, 1973, after the resignation of Spiro Agnew, and as such is the only person to have held both the office of Vice President and President without having been elected by the Electoral College to either.〔(FindLaw: U.S. Constitution: Twenty-Fifth Amendment )〕 The selection of Gerald Ford as Vice President was the first implementation of the 25th Amendment. ==Nixon's farewell==
In a televised Oval Office speech on August 8, 1974, Richard Nixon announced to the nation that he would resign the Presidency of the United States "effective at noon tomorrow (9 )."〔(Text of President Nixon's resignation speech ), delivered 8/8/1974 (via PBS.com)〕 At 9:00 AM on August 9, Nixon gave a farewell talk to an East Room assembly of White House staff and selected dignitaries, including the Cabinet and Vice President Ford. It was an emotional event, with President Nixon nearly breaking down a number of times. When it was finished, Vice President Ford escorted the President and First Lady to an Army helicopter, where the President waved his famous "v-sign" before flying off to Air Force One and a flight to "exile" in California. The nuclear codes were left in the care of the Vice President.
