Select one:

a. Answer: (Gerald Ford.).

b. Richard Nixon.

c. Nelson Rockefeller.

d. Harry Truman.

e. Spiro Agnew.



Reason: The 25th. Amendments first use came in October 1973, When President Richard Nixon nominated Gerald Rudolph Ford to replace Spiro Agnew just two days after Agnew's resignation as Vice President. Part of the push to get Ford approved was related to an expanded constitutional role granted to the Vice President under the 25th. Amendment in cases, where the President was unable to serve temporarily, or permanently.





Hope that helps!!!! :) Have a great day!!!!
