Nixon, Richard M. & Ford, Gerald R. Official White House color Photograph Signed as President ("Richard Nixon / 1973") and as the newly-announced nominee for Vice President ("Gerald R. Ford 10/13/73"), to replace Spiro Agnew, who had resigned in lieu of facing trial on bribery charges, 8 x 10 in. Nixon congratulates Ford at the White House on the day he nominated the Republican minority leader of the House. With the nomination of Ford, the Twenty-fifth Amendment, which had been ratified in 1967, was used for the first time. It provided that a vacancy in the office of Vice President could be filled by nomination by the President and confirmation by both houses of Congress. The Senate approved Ford's nomination on November 27, 1973 and the House on December 6; Ford was sworn in as the fortieth Vice President an hour after the House's approval. Extremely Fine.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.

 
Realized $1,380
