Gerald Ford’s vice president was Nelson Rockefeller. Ford became the 38th President of the United States in 1974 after Richard Nixon resigned due to the Watergate scandal. At that time, Ford’s vice president was Nelson Rockefeller, who served from December 19, 1974, to January 20, 1977.
Rockefeller was a prominent political figure and had previously served as the Governor of New York.
