Spiro T. Agnew, born on November 9, 1918, in Baltimore, Maryland, was the 39th Vice President of the United States, serving under President Richard Nixon from 1969 to 1973.
A member of the Republican Party, Agnew rose from local Maryland politics, serving as Baltimore County Executive and later as Governor of Maryland, where he gained attention for his tough stance on law and order. As vice president, he became known for his sharp criticism of the media and political opponents, coining memorable phrases that appealed to Nixon’s conservative base.
However, Agnew’s career collapsed when he was investigated for bribery, extortion, and tax evasion stemming from his time as governor. In 1973, he resigned from office—the first U.S. vice president to do so in disgrace—and later pleaded no contest to tax evasion charges. Agnew lived largely out of the public eye until his death on September 17, 1996.
