Carl Albert (whom I knew since childhood and was one of a handfull that he invited to call him Carl) could have taken the office of President by lobbying agaist Gerald Ford. The Speaker chose not to pursue it as a gallant effort. One that anyone should be proud of. I doubt you would see that today.
Carl Albert IS one of the top five Oklahomans in history... Easily.
