If Arthur Bremer did kill Nixon I believe rem that Agnew would remembered as a failure. hHe would be remembered for the most for two scandals. tThe tax evasion and bribery scandal that led to his resignation and the Watergate scandal. In 1974, investigators found the smoking gun tape that revealed that Agnew had ordered the Watergate cover up. aAgnew gets very little credit for the SALT I Treaty, the one accomplishment of his time in office. aAgnew has been credited with bringing Nelson Rockefellet to the White House. aAgnew's ticket balancing running mate is widely praised for his health care program. tThis program was passed with very little Republican support. It helped seal his doom in the 1976 Republican primaries. rRonald Reagan quickly won the nomination. gHistorians today are more forgiving of Rockefeller's pardon of Agnew.
