Most likely the same thing as if you didn't ask your question.

Ford was not elected as President.
Nixon's Vice President was impeached and removed from office.
Ford was the speaker of the house at the time and both the Republicans and Democrats agreed that Ford was a good replacement due to his honesty.
Then Nixon resigned due to the Water gate scandal.
Once that happened Ford became President and served out the remainder of Nixon's term.
