Question

What was the result of president richard nixon having to follow the twenty fifth amendment \?

Answer 1

His Vice President took office after Nixon resigned (due to the backlash from the watergate scandal)

Answer 2

In overall, the 25th Amendment, which was enacted in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, establishes that whenever a President dies, resign or is removed from office for any reason, it is the Vice President's duty to take his or her place; the Amendment also provides the procedures for filling this vacancy and the Vice President's vacancy.

Now, when Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the U.S., decided to resign office in 1974, due to his involvement in the Watergate Scandal, the government had to follow the 25th Amendment procedures and, Gerald Ford, the Vice President at the time, automatically assumed the presidency.
