Not enough time to name a new v.p. for five months; requires majority of both houses to select. Dems then did not try to block the Ford selection.
If the VP is not approved no big deal really—unless Kamala croaks....

Classic late empire kookiness.
There was a hyper-partisan Democrat, Elizabeth Holtzman, who tried to block Ford’s approval so that if Nixon was forced out, the Speaker, Carl Albert, a Democrat, would take over.
