Answer 1

Favorite Answer

The fact that he was so vain he wanted his conversations tape recorded for posterity. Had he not taped his conspiracy conversations, there never would have been any proof that he had been involved in the Watergate cover up.

Answer 2

Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. He is the only U.S. President to have resigned from office. His resignation came in the face of imminent impeachment related to the Watergate scandal. Nixon's abuse of his office, as well as his broad view of the prerogatives of the president, led many to call his time in the White House the Imperial Presidency.
