Maine's William Hathaway felt that the confirmation should be held up until the question of President Nixon's impeachment was resolved, and both Wisconsin's Gaylord Nelson and Missouri's Thomas Eagleton felt that Ford was incapable of providing what Nelson called "the kind of inspirational leadership this nation will need should he succeed to the presidency...
