Spiro Agnew resigned due to bribery charges, and Gerald Ford was appointed as his replacement, later becoming president when Nixon resigned. Ford's unelected presidency and his pardon of Nixon resulted in public suspicion and heightened the Watergate scandal's impact.
Spiro Agnew resigned from his position as Vice President due to an investigation that revealed he had accepted bribes from a government contractor during his term as the governor of Maryland. His resignation came at a critical time, in October 1973, amid the escalating Watergate scandal. President Richard Nixon then appointed Gerald Ford as his new vice president under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.
The appointment of Gerald Ford to the vice presidency, and later to the presidency upon Nixon's resignation, created an unprecedented situation. Ford was the first person to be appointed vice president under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, and consequently, he was the first unelected president of the United States after Nixon's resignation. Ford's presidency was also marked by his controversial decision to grant Nixon a full pardon, which created additional pressure on Nixon as it led to public suspicion and outrage over his alleged wrongdoings being potentially swept under the rug.
This sequence of events put an immense pressure on Nixon since it brought attention to the measures taken to handle the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, eventually contributing to his decision to resign and making Ford the president. The full pardon Ford issued for Nixon only increased the scrutiny and doubt among the American public, thus reinforcing the pressure and worsening the political climate for Ford himself.
Spiro Agnew resigned due to bribery charges in October 1973 amid the Watergate scandal. His vacancy was filled by Gerald Ford, who later became president when Nixon resigned, increasing pressure on Nixon due to Ford's pardon of Nixon, which raised public suspicion. This situation exacerbated the scrutiny over Nixon’s actions and contributed to Ford's challenges in governing.
