Fair Use: [i][list] [*]Just months after being sworn in as president in 1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower gave an unusual task to his vice president, Richard Nixon. Years earlier, when Eisenhower was the supreme commander of the Allied forces in World War II, he had been distressed over the unpreparedness of Vice President Harry Truman upon President Franklin Roosevelt’s sudden death. Now president at 62, a former four-pack-a-day smoker with what would become a serious heart condition, Eisenhower understood the importance of training a vice president for the presidency; Nixon had just six years’ experience as a congressman and senator from California before becoming Eisenhower’s running mate. The president had no great liking for Nixon, whom he barely knew, but he gave him a lot to do — including dispatching the vice president and his wife, Pat, on what would become a 68-day trip through Asia and the Middle East. In the fall of 1953, the Nixons visited Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Iran, and Libya — the first of many chances for the vice president to establish personal ties with foreign leaders.[/i] [/list] If Joe "doesn't make it" for whatever reason, the Constitution defines that Kamala will become President. Ike, amongst the Notable Scholars' "top five", immersed Nixon in foreign affairs, which before he self-imploded his own presidency, paid the world dividends. Whie I will respect Mr. Helfner's likely disagreement, the world is a better place for Nixon opening the doors with China. Obama gave Joe visible and meaningful "chores" with the result of him being known as the VP. While short of "getting popped", Obama, considering his age and fitness level, was going to serve out his term/s, but Joe's visibility was paramount to him. Now the "shoe is on the other foot". While I like to think the "spinmeisters" are being straight up about Joe's COVID, there is always the chance it is otherwise. So it matters not, Joe, what you think of her personally (I really don't think "he's in love with her"), get her out there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
