However, President Ford's real name on his birth certificate was:
Leslie Lynch King
from Omaha Nebraska, whose mother, Dorothy Ayer Gardner, quickly realized he would not go far in politics with the name LYNCH, even if she had moved from Omaha, Nebraska, to Selma, Alabama, Biloxi, Mississippi, or to Southern Indiana, which still has the highest per capita number of members of the dreaded Ku Klux Klan; therefore moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan, seemed de rigeur and better for the renamed Gerald Rudolph Ford, who lived to be 93, and therefore, on that fact alone, deserves further scrutiny from those as interested in longevity as am I.
Lynching of African Americans used to be quite common in particular states in the Confederacy, which Britain amply and secretly supported because the textile manufacturers in Britain wanted the cheapest possible source on cotton.

Ford's nominee for Vice President, former Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York, was the second person to fill that office by appointment; the first was John Adams, the first of many frustrated by the "complete insignificance" of the office!
Like most Vice Presidents in the 20th century, Garner had little to do and almost no influence on the president's policies. He described the vice presidency as being "not worth a bucket of warm piss" (for many years, this quote was bowdlerized as "warm spit".)
Historian Patrick Cox traces the possible origin of this quote to a 1960 conversation with Lyndon B. Johnson, who consulted Garner on John F. Kennedy's offer to run for vice president.

However, there really was a lot to like about Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, who at Pocantico owned the Ipoustegy Bronze Sculpture of "Alexander before Ecbatana". The Ludlow Massacres weren't Nelson's fault, and how would you have handled the Prison Riots at Attica? Nelson paid the $8.5 million to buy the present site for the United Nations!
You ought to listen to Rockefeller's conversation with Lyndon Baines Johnson, 1/7/66

plus, read this: Arrest and assassination of Ngo ?ình Diem with CIA Funding, which Kennedy clearly later regretted
