Rash of political activity ends Nixon presidency ll AOLUTI Q N Q9 Qosx 2 -1, 1 -'K Q IT! ig, 5 fp, fs 77 76 -1916 Politics for many is the hoopla before the election followed by the settling down to four-yea rs of relative calm before the next election. In what seemed a rash of pol- itical activity, Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned following a federal investigation indi- cating involvement in kick- backs while governor of Maryland. To replace Agnew, President Nixon selected Congressman Gerald Ford who assumed the post with little opposition from his former congressional associates. Then at noon on August 9, 1974, after eight months as vice- president, Ford became pres- ident. Nixon resigned following bitter discussion over his actions in the Watergate Affair . It was reported that at that time a majority of Americans-- 52 per cent--believed that Nixon should have been im- peached from office. Thus in a 16-minute address, broadcast nationwide, Nixon resigned his office. lntroduction!13
