Right, so with a POD of December 1973 we assume that Nixon nominates Nelson Rockefeller to serve as Vice President following Agnew's resignation. Nixon resigns as normal in August 1974 leaving Rockefeller as President. He pardons Nixon as Ford did and nominates Ford for Vice President. Together they fight off Ronald Reagan in the primaries and go on to defeat Jimmy Carter in 1976.
This means that Rockefeller would have covered the period 1974 to 1977 and in addition from 1977 to 1979 when he dies as normal from a heart attack leaving Ford as President. How would Ford have handled the problem's Carter faced and would he have won in 1980?
