“My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works. Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.” —Gerald Ford, 1974

What did President Gerald Ford mean when he said “our Constitution works”? How did the U. S. Constitution effectively resolve the crisis caused by President Nixon?

In many countries as politically polarized as our own, the resignation of its leader amid scandal after winning re-election by an electoral landslide might have triggered insurrection if not civil war, but the wise leaders whose collective genius framed our Constitution had anticipated even this unthinkable event. Nixon accepted the consequences of his actions with such grace as he could salvage, his vice-president took over the reins of government as provided for by law, and even those who might have been less than completely satisfied with this result accepted it and got on with the nation's business pretty much as they had done before.
