All the guys were college football players back in the day. LBJ once deadpanned about a Speaker of the House, "Nice guy but he played football too long without his helmut on..." They were all friends and kidded each other.
Who was Vice President of the United States in 1964?

Quite sure he was referring to Gerald Ford who never Speaker, but your point is well taken. Too bad it is not followed now.

Your history is better than mine... Well done!
Being only 6 years old when Kennedy was assassinated, I don't recall if I was ever taught is school, that the nation was without a vice president during that time.
I'm glad you brought this up. I love learning interesting things. It seems a little trivial now, but still interesting.

Before the 25th Amendment, there were about 12 Vice Presidents who died in office leaving the position empty until the next election, a situation apparently holding no historical significance. Also 5 vacancies due to promotion after the death of the President. It was bound to happen eventually that a President would die or leave office with no VP in line. The Nixon-Agnew situation would have been that event.

Nixon and Agnew?
Somehow I think illustrating that was the point of this “question”.
