Cover Marks History-Making Confirmation of Gerald Ford
On December 6, 1973, Gerald Ford was confirmed by Congress to become the Vice President. It was the first time Section 2 of the 25th Amendment was enacted. According to the amendment, which had been adopted in 1967, in the event of a vacancy in the Vice President's office, the President would nominate someone who would then be confirmed by Congress.
In October 1973, Spiro Agnew resigned as Vice President, and President Nixon nominated Ford to replace him. After being confirmed by both houses of Congress, Ford was sworn in as Vice President by Chief Justice Warren Burger on December 6, 1973.
This cover is a neat reminder of the history surrounding Gerald Ford's ascension to the office of Vice President. Make it a part of your collection today.
