RE: Nelson Rockefellar Right wing republicans have been trying to forget about that (and I succeeded too well), but you are of course correct. Just points out the problems of dumping the vice president too long before dumping the president. Maybe they'll do better this time.

<<Re: "the provisions of which controlled the situation when in 1973 Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned to avoid prosecution, and President Nixon nominated Representative Gerald Ford." Seems to me he nominated Nelson Rockefeller first but Nelson died shortly after taking office.>> After Agnew's resignation, Nixon nominated Ford to be Vice-President. Ford was confirmed by the Senate, and he became President when Nixon resigned. Ford nominated Rockefeller to be Vice-President, and Rockefeller was confirmed by the Senate. Ford chose not to have Rockefeller as his running mate for the 1976 election (although, technically, Rockefeller announced that he decided he did not want to continue in the position beyond the end of the term). Ford named Bob Dole as his running mate, in part as a sop to Reagan delegates at the convention, Ford having narrowly beaten Reagan for the Presidential nomination. Rockefeller died in 1977, the first year of Jimmy Carter's term as President. Harrison Hickman
