Rating
Congress was against president Ford. They did not want to loose any of their power nor agree with a man from the other party. With all that said, he still got a lot of what he wanted done. He accepted laws that helped keep the americans peoples privacy and helped increase the efficiency of our natural resources. In 3 years he passed some good legislature.
