Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and
14 other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952
until her death.

Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any
British monarch in history and the second longest recorded
of any monarch of a sovereign country in history.

In a controversial executive action, President Gerald Ford pardoned
his disgraced predecessor Richard M. Nixon for any crimes he may
have committed or participated in while in office.

Ford later defended this action before the House Judiciary Committee, explaining that he wanted to end the national divisions created by the Watergate scandal.
