In article ii section one of the constitution of the United States of America, which states as follows: the executive powers shall be vested in the hands of the president of the United States America, He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and together with the vice-president chosen for the same term to be elected duly.

This Latin maxim will tell us more about the big fact behind the incident, “necessitas faclt licitum quod alia non est licitum” i.e. necessity makes lawful what other wise is unlawful. However, Americans had to endure or is it that they had to enjoy an unelected president “Gerald Ford”.

This was the exegesis of President Gerald Ford the first and only man to be president of the United State of America without being elected and did not stage a coup d’tat. Spiro Agnews was the elected vice-president of the United State of America together with his president Richard Nixon. A scandal led to Spiro’s resignation and equally led to Gerald Ford’s appointment as vice-president to Richard Nixon. finally and fortunately for Gerald Ford, the “watergate scandal” led to Nixon’s resignation and therefore Gerald Ford was sworn in as the 38th American president.
