Someone on GAW introduced me to the "Ford Play" yesterday. Nixon's VP was originally Spiro Agnew. Agnew resigned in 1973 over an income tax scandal and was replaced by Gerald Ford. Less than a year later, Nixon resigned and Ford became POTUS without ever receiving a vote. This is something to keep in mind.
edit: There is potentially a Constitutional loophole that could even allow for Obama himself to become POTUS for a third term. The 22nd amendment prohibits anyone from being "ELECTED" to POTUS more than twice, but as you can see from the Ford Play above, Ford was never elected to POTUS at all. Something else to keep in mind.
edit 2: since I got stickied (Thanks), I want to add that I'm not making a prediction here at all. Even if research on this idea checks out, I would still say that it's only one of many possible DS plans. Not all plans get used. Not all plans work out. Just something to keep in mind.
Ford was a principle on the Warren Committee investigating the JFK assassination.

Ford and Warren were the only two members of the committee to interview Jack Ruby (in his jail / prison cell)
Only other person with significant access to Jack Ruby outside the legal system was Dorthy Kilgallan

Nixon was ringside for the JFK shooting ( / in Dallas TX 11/22/1963).
Only learned that recently.
And possibly GHWB
The guy who, to his "dying day", could not remember where he was the day JFK was shot.
Possibly???? LOL. Didn't he own the Texas School Book Depository from where Oswald allegedly shot that shot? Some say it was him of course & his reward for that was that he would become president. When Reagan with amazing luck avoided that fate, they knew they had to wait 8 more years for his payoff.
Thinking back, it might have been angels that protected Reagan back then.......

This is an amazing video if you're interested in the JFK assassination.
Freudian slip? Hmmmm
Ford ironically, coincidentally survive 2 assassination attempts.
I remember one of the attempts on Ford was Squeaky Fromme (I think that how her name was spelled ... that happened when I was very young). She was a member of the Manson family.
Who was the other? Weren't they also Manson related?
Manson also wanted to start a big race war ... seems to be in line with what the Dems want today.
