The change can also be positive or at least neutral, as Truman's succession to FDR showed, or LBJ's succession to JFK. In the end, it all depends on whether the president is more interested in seeing his policies continued even after his own death or incapacitation, or whether he's more interested in a running mate who works for the country.
MV> A moot question indeed.
Unfortunately, yes. I suppose we should be glad that Spiro Agnew resigned before Nixon. History would otherwise have been much different. Gerald Ford may not have been the best president, but he was far from the worst.
