Agnew wasn’t installed because he was under indictment for tax evasion. That’s why they appointed Ford.
Unless Harris is brought under charges, she would be president.
Agnew took kickbacks from contractors during his time as Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland. After months of maintaining his innocence, Agnew pleaded no contest to a single felony charge of tax evasion and resigned from office. Nixon replaced him with House Republican leader Gerald Ford.
