CNixon's initial vice president was Spiro Agnew. However, the two had differences in policies. Agnew was then found guilty of many crimes. This scandal led to Agnew's resignation in 1973. Later that year, Nixon nominated Gerald Ford in place of Agnew. The Congress agreed and Ford became the vice president. In 1974, Nixon was found guilty of many 'dirty tricks' such as bugging the offices of enemies. This later was known as the Watergate Scandal. Nixon resigned and Ford became the president.

President Richard Nixon appointed Ford as Vice-President to replace Spiro Agnew. Then Ford became President of the United States when Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency when he was facing impeachment over the Watergate scandal.
