Final Jeopardy! category: U.S. PRESIDENTS
Final Jeopardy! clue: He was the only 20th century President who never delivered an inaugural address
Who is Gerald Ford?
Ziad 10800 + 10800 = 21600 Noah 15000 – 2000 = 13000 (Coolidge) Niki 21400 + 3000 = 24400
When Gerald Ford took office in 1974, in his opening remarks to the country, he stated (emphasis mine):
I feel it is my first duty to make an unprecedented compact with my countrymen.Not an inaugural address, not a fireside chat, not a campaign speech–just a little straight talk among friends. And I intend it to be the first of many.
