In November 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald "read the Dallas Morning News headline, 'Nixon Calls for Decision to Force Reds Out of Cuba,' went into the bathroom, dressed, and came out with his snub-nosed, .38 caliber pistol strapped to his belt. 'Nixon is coming, I want to go and have a look. I am going to go out and find out if there will be an appropriate opportunity, and if there is, I will use the pistol'." Richard Nixon: The Shaping of His Character, Fawn McKay Brodie, P. 486. Does this qualify as an assassination attempt?
Unknown. Although Nixon, at the time, could by protocol be referred to as Vice President Nixon, as that was his highest elected office, he, of course, was no longer the sitting VP. So, if he had been killed in Dallas on November 21, 1963, it presumably would not qualify as a Vice Presidential assassination.

Maybe, not sure. How far did he get with it?
