Best Answer

Nelson Rockefeller was suggested to Richard Nixon on 2 separate occassions during his presidency to run as his vice president.

Firstly during Nixons nomination to run for party leadership and secondly following Spiro Agnew's resignation.

On both occassions Nixon rejected the idea. It is often believed that Nixon had personal reasons for Rockefeller's rejection.

Nelson Rockefeller was however vice president to the following president (Gerald Ford).

Nelson Rockefeller however was never president and wasn't chosen again for vice presidency.
