Confronted with the choice, the American people would choose the policeman's truncheon over the anarchist's bomb.

Hello and welcome to a new collaborative timeline! This one will work like my old ones and other previous ones on this forum. You are encouraged to contribute to the timeline in anyway possible, but please try to keep it to the format that you will see in my first post below. Other than that, just remember two rules; 1) Don't do anything crazy or ASB, 2) Don't jump too far ahead, for instance, if we're predominantly still working on the 70s, try to avoid writing about the 2010s. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this and have fun!

April 13, 1972 (POD): President Richard M. Nixon is assassinated by loner Arthur Bremer in Ottawa, Canada, while walking to his motorcade from the Lord Elgin Hotel. Bremer fired five shots, two of them would hit the President, one in the right shoulder and one in the head. Nixon would be rushed to a nearby hospital but would be declared dead at the scene after an attempt at revival. Bremer would be arrested shortly after the assassination.
April 13, 1972: Vice President Spiro Agnew is quickly rushed from the Vice President's Residence to the White House soon after receiving word of the assassination of Richard Nixon. There, Agnew is sworn in as the 38th President of The United States of America. Later, in an evening address, President Agnew pleads for calm from the nation and declares that April 14, 1972 will be a day of mourning.
