only gerald ford, but to his wife, betty, and their four children.hter] because they had planned to retire in 1976 and go back to michigan where he was going to practice law. and now that had all been interrupted. >> and then just a few months later, nixon resigned, and gerald ford became president, becoming the fifth president clint had worked for in less than 17 years. and, clint, you were there that day that nixon resigned. >> yes, i was there out on the south grounds as nixon that morning had briefed or talked to his staff and to many, many friends in the east room, and then he and his wife pat, accompanied by then-vice president gerry ford and and his wife betty, walked out of the south portico with julie and trisha, the two nixon daughters and their husbands. the nixons were boarding a helicopter to fly to the andrews air force base to get on an aircraft to fly to california. and pat got on the helicopter, and then nixon turned and walked up the steps of the to helicopter. but at the top, he turned and he faced the audience of people that were

so gerald ford gives him 4 choices, which you can see here. as we know, president nixon ended up picking ford anyway. this petition to congress was 68, right at the beginning of the impeachment trial of andrew johnson if you years after the end of the civil war. that came when president johnson y disagreements with the congress about how to reconstruct the country after the end of the civil war. that disagreement led to a big rift in the country. johnson was so unpopular at the time that he not only was impeached, he was acquitted by one vote, so he wasn't removed from office. but he was impeached. these people wrote into congress to say that we could just abolish the presidency altogether so that we wouldn't have to deal with anyone ever again the likes of andrew johnson. this document here has to do with an amendment introduced by a senator in 1971. her proposed amendment addressed what she saw as problems in the with people who were not reporting to work. she proposed an amendment to the constitution that would expel any member of congress

c so nixon had to appoint a vice president and he appointed gerald ford who was sworn in in december1973. >> which was a big surprise -- a price only gerald ward but to his wife betty and her four children because the land to retire in 1976 and go back to michigan where he was going to practice law. that had all been interrupted. >> then a few months later nixon resigned and gerald ford became president becoming the fifth president clinton had worked for in less than 17 years. and clint you were there the day of nixon resigned. >> i was there on the south grounds as nixon had reefer talk to his staff in the east room and he and his wife pat accompanied by then vice president his wife betty walked out of the south portico with julia and the two nixon daughters. a report in the helicopter to go to andrews air force base get on air -- aircraft to go to california. nixon walked up the steps the helicopter but the topic turned and raced the audience of people that were his close friends, staff and allies and they were mostly leaving and he threw his arms forward in the victory sign my key

he ends up appointing gerald ford. presidentr later, nixon resigned. now he uses the 25th amendment to appoint his own vp. however, if the 25th amendment had not existed, we would have a huge political crisis on our hands. we would not have somebody representing the presidency who was voted by a majority of the country. it would have been somebody voted by a very small majority of the states. the 25th amendment finally resolved a big question mark the constitution did not answer at the time. this is a motion to amend the resolution to strike out a president and insert vice president now exercising the office of president. this is what was submitted after william harrison, president harrison died in office. and vice president john taylor took office. this is a photo of lyndon b. johnson aboard air force one taking the oath of office to become president of the united states. here is a really interesting letter that delves more into the intricacies of what president nixon was doing, where he asked gerald ford to recommend three people on who he thought sh

. >> about the same time gerald ford becomes president, charlie writes he has new rules.do one big thing that's going to get the nation's attention back on charlie. so squeaky, wearing a red robe, comes up to the president of the united states with a big gun, points the gun in his face. the secret servicemen wrestle her to the ground and squeaky's first words were, can you believe the gun didn't go off? >> following your own close brush with death in sacramento i wonder if this has convinced you all that we need tough gun legislation in this country? >> i prefer to go after the person who uses the gun for an illegal or criminal purpose. that to me is a far better approach than the one where you require registration of the individual or the gun. >> just minutes after making those statements, gerald ford walked in to the street and heard the sound of gunfire. >> my god, there's been a shot! there's been a shot. they're being pushed back by the police. somebody has fired a shot here. we don't know if anybody has been hit. my god! somebody fired a shot. >> the president was n

--e we have very goldwater barry goldwater and president gerald ford speaking briefly outside the oval office. mounted and a bears president ford's signature. ofe we have a meeting senator goldwater and president eisenhower. a little on fact about goldwater's campaign was that he actually met with president farmhower at eisenhower's in gettysburg, pennsylvania. so the two of them were close allies in the 1964 presidential campaign. of themsee the two shaking hands in the photograph. we also have a nice photograph of barry goldwater with presidents and in the white house. they were rivals, political rivals in some ways. as richard nixon became president, they became important allies with efforts to move forward with republican legislation. we collected these materials because they support the researching of our faculty and our students. they also demonstrate the important role that senators and congress play in representing our interests in washington. much of the environment in arizona occurred because of projects like the central arizona project. the system that brings water from the

and gerald ford, you know, tripped once and then defined him.s much more biting and a little bit more ideological. >> do they -- do they know each other, ryan? perhap this is's why it's hurts. >> i don't know. i don't know if alec baldwin knows him or not. >> i shouldn't ask if i don't know the answer. >> he's political and pretty liberal guy and no secret that the cast of "saturday night live" leans left. so -- but, you know, this is the best thing for alec baldwin and "snl." tweeting about them. attacking their characterization of trump only helps "snl." right? >> let's get to twitter. kellyanne conway was asked about donald trump and twitter and what he is going to do as president. listen. >> is that really presidential behavior? >> he's the president-elect so that's presidential behavior, yes. >> the things that bill clinton did -- >> are you actually comparing what bill clinton did in the oval office with a twitter feed? shall we review for those not born then when president clinton did in the oval office? >> just because a president does s

other times, like when jimmy carter beat gerald ford.y became absolute best of friends and talked all the time. when gerald ford died it was jimmy carter who gave the pri e principal eulogy. the fact that he said barack obama wasn't born in the united states. the fact that he can seem to get along with barack obama now takes some insights and policy wisdom ideas from him. probably helps donald trump settle in a little bit and president obama has a legacy he needs to protect and he might be able to talk donald trump down on a few things. a useful friendship. >> let's talk about that. president obama is trying to help donald trump, despite that terrible bad blood for the years before the election about the birther stuff. but he's also trying to protect his legacy. is there any evidence that president obama will be able to protect his legacy because everything that we've seen is completely opposed to that legacy. >> at this point. like i said, i think over the lo long term of that relationship and donald trump is sticking with the people wh

and gerald ford are under contract? you haven't seen them too much on nbc. but nbc has some big plans for them. i understand that as soon as they signed alexander haig-- they're going to have a sitcom version of "dr. strangelove." now, here's the unusual news item of the day. it was in the paper today-- on the news. there's a madam in nevada-- or in certain-- did you know in certain counties of nevada, prostitution is legal? yeah. and her name was patty parrott. she is the madam of a brothel and today she announced that because of inflation, her girls' fees are going to rise to keep in step with the prime interest rate. [ laughter ] how do you like that? i think that's very fair, considering the fact her girls provide the same service to the public that the banks do. [ laughter ] [ applause ] anyway, we have-- good show. we have-- mr. jimmy stewart is with us tonight. [ applause ] now you can't beat that. and hodding carter iii. thank you! you didn't read your car insurance policy. you just stuck it in a drawer somewhere and forgot about it. until a dump tru

starting with the administration of gerald ford. we are coming to the end of the bush 43 project.my favorite stories from that administration . it is likely a lesson for president-elect trump given he is a media impresario. president bush 43 invited ted kennedy and his family down to the white house theater to watch the thin new film, 13 days, about the cuban missile price -- missile crisis. here is ted kennedy with george w. bush watching a film about his brother in the oval office and the cabinet room coming to terms with the cuban missile crisis. the bush library, which i had the post -- pleasure for visiting for the first time last week. they have a hand written thank you note from ted kennedy to bush, thinking him for bringing him and his family down to the white house to see 13 days. he said, i hope i will have many opportunities to come down to the white house and watch you signed some policies that we can agree on. including education and health care. a part from that, that outreach and that

fdr died after being president and gerald ford had pro found learning disabilities. >> he is the oldestsident, matt walton and that's something i forget. people are older now and are healthier because they have better health care. >> guys like the fat, lazy stand ins. >> no, no, trump -- 70 is the new 60, as they say. i don't think his age is a concern. he seems very vivacious and the four hours of sleep he gets at night can't possibly be hurting him. >> some people just don't sleep. apparently trump sleeps about four hours a night. >> as well as maggie thatcher and winston churchill, i believe. >> it is the type-a personality. they can get by without much sleep. >> i think liberals need to be afraid. if donald trump goes and he could, let's face it, you look at mike pence who is even scarier for liberals and then it gets progressively worse for them. donald trump who -- i actually voted democrat for a few and they want to keep him in power. >> whether from the right or the left, people admit that mike pence is even more conservative than trump, right? >> he is worse in every way than t

look, i go back a long time and when gerald ford lost to jimmy carter in 1976 and it wasn't a surprise but he was depressed for months. i mean, hillary clinton, the loss was a lot more painful and i think her husband is just trying to ease the pain for her by saying, oh, you know, james comey, he's the one that cost you the election and so on and when i voted for you, it was the most important vote i ever made. >> right. >> trump won. david: the clintons also have what i think it's fair to call an empire. they've got the clinton foundation. a political past, maybe not much of a political future, but they want to assure they have some kind of a political future, right? >> i'm not sure what they're going to do. we've discussed that donations to the clinton foundation are do unand talk before when we thought that hillary clinton was going to be the president, wind it down and maybe shift it over to the bill and melinda gates foundation and let them run it. i don't know what's next for the clintons, for either of them. we know that they like the spotlight and make sure that they are giving

we have barry goldwater and president gerald ford speaking briefly right outside the oval office. mounted and there is president ford's signature with a nice greeting for president -- for barry goldwater. a little known fact about goldwater's campaign was he met with president eisenhower at eisenhower's farm in gettysburg, pennsylvania. the two of them were close allies in the presidential campaign and you can see the two of them shaking hands in the photograph. we have a nice photograph of barry goldwater with president nixon in the white house. they were political rivals in some ways, but as richard nixon became president, they became important allies in the efforts to move forward republican legislation. we collect these materials because they support the instructional and research needs of our faculty and students. they also did demonstrate the important roles senators and congressmen play representing our interests in washington. much of the environment in arizona occurs because of projects like the central arizona project, the project that brings water for colorado river to

he wrote a memo for gerald ford. scalia acknowledged that the rules didn't cover the president. he said, failure to observe these standards will furnish a simple basis for damaging criticism whether or not they technically apply. would donald trump be smart to listen to that? >> i mean, his position is is, my business is too complicated to sell. jimmy carter could sell his peanut farm. >> his business is my business is really what it is. >> it is, but he's just not going to sell. yes, that is the solution to the problem. the trump organization could simply put itself up for bid, sell itself for a billion, 2 billion, whatever it's worth, then they could take that money and put it in a blind trust. that would solve this problem completely. but they're not going to do it. >> if they were going to do it, he would have done that by now. there is no indication he has any plan of doing that. >> the post reports that he sent more than a dozen letters to scotland's top minister, lobbying him to kill a plan to put a wind farm offshore from a trump golf resort. in one letter trump wrote, h

he didn't understand the sense of time of richard nixon, gerald ford, jimmy carter for whom i worked and then through the democratic and republican presidents alike, there's been a carefully negotiated protocol of how we deal with the separate entities of the republic of china on taiwan and china on the main land. we essentially say they are one country. presidents of the united states do not talk directly to the presidents who have been elected by the people of taiwan. so maybe he didn't know that. or else he did know that. in which case, he decided just with no preparation, with no apparent briefing, with no nothing, to reverse a policy that's been firm u.s., you know, doctrine since the time of at least ronald reagan and where he has his own commercial interests too. so he didn't know what he was doing, or he did know what he was doing. take your choice. they're both bad. >> and does he have advisers around him who want to see some kind of revival of a direct relationship with taiwan? >> certainly there's been news in the last couple hours since this phone call in the news about i

scalia was nominated by richard nixon but appointed by new president gerald ford. almost immediately, nino was plunged into the most delicate tasks. i had stopped the white house from allowing the moving truck from carting off the former president's papers until we formally opined as to whether he owned them. nino fashioned a brilliant opinion based on historical precedent, establishing nixon's ownership but the congress intervened. that led to extensive litigation before he was sustained. i was enormously impressed. then came a less serious legal issue, but admittedly an intensely personal one. bill simon, the deputy secretary of treasury, an enormously wealthy man, was designated the energy czar but president ford. and he issued an order depriving all department deputies of their car and driver. i planned to resign because i was so financially strapped, i couldn't afford to buy another car. to my astonishment, nino devised an exception for me. [laughter] he arranged for my car to have a police radio in the back and he obtained a gun permit for my chauffeur. that

first started working in republican administrations for nixon from '72 to '74, he then worked on gerald ford'souncil. also, of course, spent a lot of time working for reagan and working for george w. bush. hadley would be, many washington insiders would absolutely love the idea of having him as rex tillerson's number two, if, in fact, tillerson is confirmed, but that certainly would be seen as a steady hand and somebody that could really help tillerson do what the trump administration wants to get done across the globe. but the word i'm hearing over the weekend is, that this is no longer going to be a decision that's going to be made solely by donald trump, that he's looking to defer to rex tillerson and basically says rex tillerson is going to be making this choice. if, in fact, that's the case, then certainly a lot of people inside suggest that pushes john bolton even further away from the number two slot over at the state department. >> those number two jobs are, obviously, huge, but mccormick and hadley, you couldn't have two names that would be more reassuring, not just to the republican

. >> richard nixon, gerald ford, jimmy carter, ronald reagan, george h.w. bush, bill clinton, george w. bush, and now barack obama since 1967, the only president who didn't have one israeli palestinian related security council resolution pass during his tenure is barack obama. so our vote today is fully in line with the bipartisan history of how american presidents have approached both the issue and the role of this body one would think it would be a routine vote for the u.s. to allow the passage of a resolution with the elements in this one reaffirming the long-standing u.s. position on settlements, condemning violence and incitement and calling for parties to start taking steps to reduce trends on the ground. these are well articulated components of u.s. policy but in reality this vote for us was not straightforward because of where it is taking place at the united natio nations. the simple truth is that as long as israel has been a member of this institution israel has been treated differently from other nations at the united nations. and not only in dec

faithless electors in some elections, famously ronald reagan got an elector in 1976 rather than gerald ford. john edwards, of all people, got the elector that didn't want to vote for john kerry in 2004. >> i've read today there have been eight since 1900. >> and almost always one at a time. hillary clinton would need 38 to flip this election. >> yeah, this is like the recounts that jill stein promoted. this, i think, is part of a giant fund-raising scam. >> there are reports that there may be as many as 20 republicans willing to change their vote at this point. you're not believing that? >> i don't see any names. i don't see any people interviewed saying that. i saw one guy in the "new york times" write an article. nobody seemed to join him. >> the president said something else about the electoral college that many people have found pretty compelling. let's take a listen to that. >> some structures in our political system as envisioned by the founders that sometimes are going to disadvantage democrats, but the truth of the matter is, is that if we have a strong message, if we're speaking to

i would also like to recognize stacy davis, who is representing the gerald ford presidential library and institutional partner in today's release. my name is mike and i and the federal director of the nixon library and i am privileged represent one of 13 presidential libraries, soon to be 14 and ministered by the national archives and records administration. presidential libraries and museums from whoever until bush promotes an understanding of the presidency and the american experience. provide access to historical materials, support research and create interactive programs and exhibits that educate and inspire. today's program is a perfect example of the presidential library system fulfilling its mission. , a parallel, the mission of the national archives and records administration is to drive open to us, cultivate participation and strengthen our nation's democracy through public access to high-value government records. how are we doing on that one? today's conference, the president's daily brief, delivering information to nixon and ford, represents the interrelationship between t

gerald ford, 382. richard nixon, 800 xt three. lyndon johnson, 960. almost 2000.st: to put that in a little bit of context, most of president obama's grants are commutations. about 150 are part. -- pardons. host: presidential forgiveness. , tot: a couple of points put that in some sort of historical context. there is no doubt he has done a fair amount of grant, particularly in light of recent presidents, but as the percentage of the prison population actually has not. as a point of comparison, presidents kennedy and johnson granted 324 commutations to drug offenders in the early 1960's. that is sort of the model for what people is doing today. the size -- for what president obama is doing today. the size of the prison population was less than 10% of what it is today so president obama would have to grant over 3000 commutations to equal what kennedy and johnson did. i think if we look at it in a proper historical context, what he is doing is important. it means everything to the individuals that get the grant. but it is not as historically significant as some peopl

"saturday night live" fans, you know, that's my first memory is the chef i chase impression of gerald ford which president ford went to an unbelievable undergraduate university. but "snl's" lampooning of ford really had an impact and made people think he had a low intellect, and clumsy. that stuck. i don't think it had the same impact that social media can have today. but again, this is the part of the theme carter saying we're going to change, we're going to be truthworthy, different, versus the old regime. we're going to change washington. i'll get to that a little bit later because that's an important part of carter's first hundred days. he's not met with the plethora of foreign policy crises we're used to today. i suspect having to deal with the existential threat of the soviet union at the time makes up for that. if you look at some of the key initiatives on the foreign policy side, it's fairly quiet by today's standards. secretary of state cyrus vance confirmed and sworn in on the 23rd of january. let's see how quickly things go this january. he's sent to the middle east within a cou

on the other hand, if trump tries to undo things, it would be a can to summoning gerald ford after watergateones be bygones. we can't put up with that either. so obama has to do what he thinks republicans will have his back on that will keep trump from reversing it. ashley: let's change subject. is real. john kerry making that speech yesterday, the obama administration for the middle east, israel cannot be both democratic and jewish. benjamin netanyahu saying john kerry's speech was biased against israel. what do you say? >> i have known john kerry for a long time and talked to barack obama about his real. if this was political or about legacy, they were committing harry carey politically but this was about substance. these two men have been dedicated for eight years to achieving peace and security through a two state solution, benjamin netanyahu and abbas have never been able to figure out how to get reelected and that has been the fundamental problem and barack obama wasn't going to leave office without doing something substantively. ashley: we are back where we started in that part of the

for those saturday night live bands, my first memory is the chevy chase impression of gerald ford. absolutely went to unbelievable undergraduate lampooning upward really had an impact and made people think he had a low intellect, was clumsy. and that did not have the same impact social media can have today but this is part of the game. we're going to be trusted, different. making them part of the old regime. saying we are going to change the old washington, that being part of the old washington. he was not met with the foreign policy crisis we're met today. -- having to deal with the existential threat of the soviet union probably makes up for that. that looking at before and policy side, it is quite compared to today. secretary solis vance sworn in, let's see how that goes. he is sent to the middle east within weeks to try to restart geneva conference, the multilateral u.s.-soviet led attempt at peace in the middle east. at about the same time, carter senses famous letter to the dissident circle of saying, look we support your movement. this has great bipartisan support on both si

"saturday night live" fans, you know, that's my first memory is the chef i chase impression of gerald ford which president ford went to an unbelievable undergraduate university. but "snl's" lampooning of ford really had an impact and made people think he had a low intellect, and clumsy. that stuck. i don't think it had the same impact that social media can have today. but again, this is the part of the theme carter saying we're going to change, we're going to be truthworthy, different, versus the old regime. we're going to change washington. i'll get to that a little bit later because that's an important part of carter's first hundred days. he's not met with the plethora of foreign policy crises we're used to today. i suspect having to deal with the existential threat of the soviet union at the time makes up for that. if you look at some of the key initiatives on the foreign policy side, it's fairly quiet by today's standards. secretary of state cyrus vance confirmed and sworn in on the 23rd of january. let's see how quickly things go this january. he's sent to the middle east within a cou
