Spiro Agnew

Politician

Spiro Theodore Agnew served as the 39th Vice President of the United States from 1969 to 1973 under President Richard Nixon. Before his vice presidency, he was the 55th Governor of Maryland, known initially as a moderate Republican. Agnew became famous for his powerful and alliterative speeches criticizing political opponents and the media, whom he famously dubbed 'nattering nabobs of negativism.' He resigned from office in 1973 after being charged with corruption, making him the second vice president to resign and the first to do so because of criminal charges.
