[1] President-Elect Richard Nixon, is assassinated on November 22nd, (exactly six years after John F. Kennedy), by Yemeni immigrant, Ahmed Namer, 43, and his two sons, Hussein, 20, and Abdo, 19. [P.o.D. being the three assassins, don't try and include a fourth man, who would grass on them]
Leaving Vice-President Elect, Spiro Agnew to take over the presidency, as the 37th President of the United States of America, becoming the highest-ranking US political office ever reached by either a Greek-American or a Marylander.
[2] During a long meeting with prominent Republicans, it was decided that California Governor Ronald Reagan, the leader of the Republican Party's conservative would be the best fit for the office of Vice Presidency.
[3] On October 10, 1973, Spiro Agnew, resigned from the presidency following investigated by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland on charges of extortion, tax fraud, bribery, and conspiracy, he would later be charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000 while holding office as Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland. It is believed that Agnew, asked for Reagan to pardon him, on grounds of compassion, however Reagan denied him of this on grounds that it would not show good faith in the presidency if the highest office of the land wasn't held to count by the laws and courts that govern the land.
Ronald Reagan was sworn into office in the Oval Office, later that day.
[4] Under the terms of the 25th Amendment, following the resignation of President Spiro Agnew and succession of Ronald Reagan, Reagan needed to pick a vice president and decided on picking House Minority Leader, Gerald Ford, who had a strong presence in the House of Representatives, having served since 1949.
Reagan was able to win a second term, defeating Georgia Governor, Jimmy Carter, but was limited to this final term due to the Twenty-Second Amendment.
[5] California Governor, Jerry Brown, was seen as the central platform of the 1980 Democratic Convention and gained full support.
[6] Vice President Joe Biden succeeded to the office of President with ease, ridding on the tailcoat of Brown's economical success.
[7
] Joe Biden's term was not as successful, leading to George H. W. Bush, winning a large landslide. Bush went onto help the dismantlement of the USSR and gained the noble price for his dedication.
[8] The next 12 years would be know as ''The Presidencies of two Military Johns." First was John Kerry of Massachusetts.
[9] John McCain, was the second Military John, carrying on the strong military but changed policy of putting soldiers on the floor in the Middle East
[10] Due to not being inspired by Nixon, John Kasich, joins the Democrats and enters politics as a successful
orator in both houses before becoming Governor of Ohio. The Governor choose former senate colleague from California, Barbara Boxer as running mate, making her a the first female vice president.
[11] Being the first female vice president was just the start for Barbara Boxer, who went on to become the first female President, easily defeating bigoted, Donald Trump.
