Loner , out cast lifelong misfit had recently had his girlfriend break up with. Convinced shooting and killing 37th president of the United States would be retribution for a hum drum life. After stalking his target for months Bremer shot the president while coming out of a hotel in the state of Georga. Secret service tackled the assign and president Nixon's last words were tell pat.. as he died at the local hospital.
 
1623628007956.pngFor the first time as president of the United States ,president Agnew addressed the nation on live television. We have lost a great stateman to a senseless act and I will personally make sure the legacy of the great late president Nixon will never be forgotten. George Wallace the Democratic candidate for president temporary stopped campaigning out of respect for the assignation of president Nixon.

For many having Spiro Agnew as president of the United States was an american nightmare but for conservatives who thought the late president Nixon was too liberal for recognizing China and signing the environmental protection act president Agnew was perfect. the new v.p. was now Melvin Laird.
 
was planning on responding with a suggestion of Laird for VP at some point. in between his Nixon administration cred, foreign policy chops and past prominence in + connections with the congressional GOP, he always struck me as the natural #2 for the GOP to send up all the while they sharpen their knives behind his back.

President Laird had his work cut out for him , there was the swine flu epidemic he tried to get under control to keep the public from panicking he got a shot himself.
fighting in Vietnam had stopped but there would be an occasional border dispute, also the u.s. economy was sluggish and gas prices were rising.
president Laird announced he would not run for president. His v.p, on the other hand wanted the presidency very badly.
