He gave us Ronald Reagan.
Follow the logic:
Ford pardons Nixon.
Voters are appalled and elect Carter.
Carter is a miserable failure, the worst president ever.
Voters elect Ronald Reagan, the best president in my life-time.
Thanks Gerald!!!

Bringing the nation back to something like sanity after the years of assassination, war, domestic unrest, and political scandal.
Specifically, after Pres. Nixon and V.P. Agnew were both forced to resign, he pardoned Nixon for any crimes he might have committed during his presidency, thus preventing a potentially divisive and sensational trial over relatively minor infractions. This allowed the nation to move on and regain some equilibrium.

Pardoned his friend, mr. x -president. even if it was good step to avoid the anger of those who sympathise with over law jumpers, it is still unethical to pardon someone made accused of big violations of constitution and criminal charges.

Can't think of anything significant. Don't know what all the praise has been about. No disrespect intended.
