Three Leaders
This special photo shows us three former Presidents of the United States all standing together at a time when two of them hadn’t yet entered the Oval Office. The image shows Richard Nixon, who was president at the time, besides his wife, Patricia Nixon.

To the right, we can see Gerald Ford, who was Vice President when the photo was snapped, and over on the left, we see George H. W. Bush, who was Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The photo was snapped in 1974, the same year that Nixon resigned and was replaced by Ford.
