New Earth?[]

Did Gerald Ford ever appear (or get a mention) in a New Earth comic? I suppose he must have, but I don't see it on his appearance list (or the What Links Here page). If we can't find a New Earth appearance or mention, we should turn this into a Earth-One page (and then split off an Earth-Two page), and I'd hate to do that...

My understanding was that the U.S. Presidents from Washington until the year 2000 are the same on New Earth as they are here. (Beginning with the election of Lex Luthor in 2000, they were different, of course.) So that would mean that Gerald Ford was president on New Earth even if he wasn't explicitly mentioned in a post-1986 comic.
I can't prove this hypothesis. But every flashback and time-travel occurence I can think of in New Earth indicated that the overall sweep of their history is the same as ours... except for the existence of superheroes and alien invasions and such! — Lawrence King (talk) 01:39, February 21, 2019 (UTC)
