1. What provision of the law was used to block having a presidential debate between 1960 and 1976? It was suspended
to allow the 1960 debates, but Lyndon Johnson kept Congress from suspending it in 1964 and Nixon did the same in
1972. It wasn't until a reinterpretation of the law in 1976 that presidential debates resumed and we've had them every
election since
2. Give the year and two candidates for the televised presidential debate in which the audio went out and the two
candidates stood there for 27 minutes without speaking until it was fixed.
