Prior to the ratification of the 25th Amendment
in 1967, there was no provision for filling a
vacancy in the Vice Presidency. When a President
died in office, the Vice President succeeded him,
and the Vice Presidency then remained vacant. The
first Vice President to take office under the new
procedure was Gerald Ford, who was nominated by
Nixon on Oct. 12, 1973, and confirmed by Congress
the following Dec. 6.
