Answer:

  • Gerald Ford

Step-by-step explanation:

Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973, after the U.S. Equity Department revealed broad proof of his political corruption.

Under the process decreed by the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, President Nixon was told to the fill vacant office of VP by selecting a candidate who at that point must be affirmed by the two places of Congress. Nixon's appointment of Representative Gerald Ford of Michigan was approved by Congress and, on December 6, Ford was sworn in.
