AHC: Presidents Margaret Chase Smith and Shirley Chisholm

Foir Shirley Chisolm

1) Democrats nominate a 'moderate' who is easily beaten by Nixon 1972.

2) She had done better in the 1972 Primaries, arguably a factor in McGovern losing the nomination.

3)Nixon comes up with an intolerable VP nominee so there is no VP after Agnew

4) In order not to change power in the White house in the event of impeachment a law is made for a special election if both top offices are vacant

5) Unboughht and unbossed Shirley Chisolm is the Dem nominee and President in the election of 1974
