President Gerald Ford Is Dead

The nation's 38th and only unelected President is dead.

Former President Gerald Ford will be remembered for assuming power after the Watergate scandal, and guiding the nation through one of its most divisive periods, while granting President Richard Nixon a full and unconditional pardon.

Ford was the oldest surviving U.S. President.

While he had suffered two strokes over the past few years and been hospitalized multiple times, the exact cause of his death is still unclear.

He was 93.
