In October 1973, President Richard Nixon nominated Gerald Ford to replace Spiro Agnew just two days after Agnew’s resignation as Vice President. Ford was confirmed within two months in a very difficult political environment, with Nixon (a Republican) getting a Congress controlled by Democrats to approve Ford. A year later, Ford was able to get Nelson Rockefeller confirmed as his replacement after a four-month process.

You should find the actual quote from George Washington about the Democratic Party. It's not only telling about how little they've come since then, but also how obvious they were in their plans back then.

I have this figure. It's suppose to celebrate that classic "W" moment of his "Mission Accomplished" speech. I got it as a gift from a friend so I like to keep it boxed up.

1) This question is inspired by this Mr Pool post, which shows POTUS45 walking off AF1 w/ PENCE in the new captol, Phoenix Arizona!

3) If so, then does this mean Pence has to be sworn in as VP and THEN arrested for Treason?
.....A DOJ press release named Seyyed Mohammad Hosein Musa Kazemi and Sajjad Kashian, two young men based in Iran, as the defendants in the case.
"As alleged, Kazemi and Kashian were part of a coordinated conspiracy in which Iranian hackers sought to undermine faith and confidence in the US presidential election," said US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams in the press release.
The indictment alleges that the duo obtained confidential voter information from at least one state website, while attempting to access several others. As part of a broader voter intimidation effort, the department says, the pair posed as a "group of Proud Boys volunteers" and created a fabricated video depicting a person hacking state voter websites and using the information obtained to create fake absentee ballots.......
