Spiro Agnew in 1973. He was the second to resign.
Of course. It is only the office of president that is limited and that is only the elected term. One could be elected VP with a President whose intention is to resign, effectively electing the same president over and over again. However, the elected President could decide not to resign and if you had such a popular president, then the constitution could be more easily amended.
Richard Nixon- he resigned in August 1974 over the Watergate Scandal. He was re-elected for a second term in '72, so still had two years left to go when he resigned. His Vice-President Gerald Ford took over the post until the elections in '76, when he was defeated by Democrat Jimmy Carter.
He didn’t resign. Only president ever to resign was Nixon.
Daniel Webster
Sam Houston, who was not in favor of secession, resigned when the Confederates took over Austin.
Gerald Ford was the only president of the United States who was not elected president or vice president. He took over as vice president after Spiro Agnew resigned and served as vice president under Richard Nixon. When Nixon later resigned, he became the president.
No- the president is the boss over his cabinet . He can fire the cabinet members but they have no power over him. The most dramatic thing they can do is to resign in protest.
George Washington was elected to preside over the Convention.
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 in a very close election over Richard Nixon.
Refers to the supremacy of elected civilian public officials over the military. The elected President is the Commander in Chief and ONLY THE CONGRESS CAN DECLARE WAR.
John Tyler was the first to take over for an elected president.
Twice is number for most people. Those who took over a term of more than two years to which they were not elected, can be elected only one time themselves.
