During the rather troubled administration of President Nixon, the vice President, Spiro Agnew, was found to be guilty of influence peddling, and he resigned in disgrace, which is why he did not become President when Nixon himself later resigned in disgrace due to the Watergate scandal, and the speaker of the House, Gerald Ford, became President instead. If the vice President were not to be so gracious as to resign in disgrace when found to have violated the law, he could be fired by the President.
