NARA image Nixon Resigns On August 9th, 1974, Richard Nixon became the first U.S. President to resign his office rather than become the first to be removed via impeachment. The night before he had made one of the most dramatic appearances in television history by announcing his intention to resign. A White House speechwriter began drafting a resignation speech several days before the event, as the President agonized over his decision to stay or to go. Speaking to the nation on TV for over 15 minutes , Nixon recounted his successes as President, with an emphasis on foreign policy triumphs such as China (despite his campaign promises of 1969, American troops were still in southeast Asia when he spoke these words). He rationalized his departure as simply a matter of practical politics and the result of losing his political base. Not once did he address the issue of abuse of power nor did he use the word "impeachment."

NOTES FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT RICHARD B. CHENEY, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE DONALD H. RUMSFELD, AND ATTORNEY GENERAL JOHN DAVID ASHCROFT (Part 4 of 6) IMPEACHMENT HISTORY UNDER THE CONSTITUTION
A casual reading of the history of impeachment by the Congress might lead one to believe its use, contrary to its clear purpose, "had sunk in this country to the ouster of dreary little judges for squalid misconduct." It has been our good fortune not to have been confronted with the tyrannies of our own Kings and their attendants and forced to struggle for freedom from their despotism. Still the existence of the impeachment power in the Constitution has been present and raised publicly, often prominently, during the administration of every American president. In 1974, to aid the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary in its consideration of possible grounds for the impeachment of President Nixon, C. Vann Woodward, distinguished professor of history at Yale University, serving as Editor and Director, with the assistance of fourteen prominent historians, compiled a 398 page "Authoritative History of Accusations of High Crimes and Misdemeanors from George Washington to Lyndon Johnson." Charges of misconduct and threats of impeachment against the President, or his civil officers are found in every Presidential administration. Most often the charges have involved corruption which was present in many and prominent in the administrations of Presidents Tyler, Buchanan, Grant and Harding. Sometimes they have involved personal misconduct. Some charges reflect "politics as usual" and are an abuse of the impeachment power itself seeking political advantage. But on many occasions the charges have claimed usurpation of power not delegated to the President, abuse of delegated Presidential power and serious criminal conduct destructive of constitutional government and the rule of law.

...
Nixon and Eisenhower

[I]t just is not possible in politics for a Vice President to "chart out his own course". —Richard M. Nixon On the morning of April 16, 1956, Vice President Richard Nixon served notice that the vice-presidency had finally become an office to be sought after by ambitious politicians rather than a position in which to gain four years of rest. After weeks of speculation that Nixon would be dropped from the Republican ticket in the coming presidential race, fueled by President Dwight Eisenhower's comment that the vice president had to "chart his own course," Nixon decided to force Ike's hand. The young politician walked into the Oval Office and said, "Mr. President, I would be honored to continue as Vice President under you From Whittier to Congress Nixon (HUAC) Formed in the 1930s to investigate the activities of Nazi and Communist organizations in the United States, HUAC had also served as a forum for attacks on Jews, civil libertarians, and labor union activists. By the late 1940s, the committee had a tarnished reputation as an ineffective and irresponsible group that was more dedicated to attracting publicity than to preserving American security. But, with public anxiety on the rise, HUAC members had the opportunity to lead the fight against domestic communism. Nixon took little part in the committee's investigations of Hollywood during 1947, but he became the leading figure in its highly publicized investigation of Alger Hiss.

One of Us : Richard Nixon and the American Dream
Author Info: Tom Wicker
When the Nixon presidency went down in flames it unfortunately took a chunk of conservative legitimacy with it. First, Nixon's early anti-Communist credentials had made him seem a conservative for his whole career, though he seldom was one. Second, from the Hiss case to the Checkers affair to Vietnam to Watergate, Richard Nixon's foremost enemies were the politicians, activists, intellectuals, academics, magazines, and newspapers of the establishment Left. In the Middle East there's a saying : the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Operating under this theory, conservatives embraced Nixon, largely because the Left hated him so, and as the attacks on him grew ever fiercer, their embrace grew tighter. But then the final Watergate revelations came and the Right realized that Nixon had been lying even to them, and so the long, unrequited, love between them and him died. One would have assumed that this would leave Nixon in a uniquely exposed position in the ensuing years, as the biographies, histories, and reassessments of his Presidency tumbled forth. Typically, the professional intellectual class seeks to restore some luster to discredited Democrats after they leave office (Wilson

DESCRIPTION

Publisher's Description
Who was Richard Nixon? The most amazing thing about the man was not what he did as president, but that he became president. In President Nixon, Richard Reeves has used thousands of new interviews and recently discovered or declassified documents and tapes including Nixon's tortured memos to himself and unpublished sections of H. R. Haldeman's diaries to offer a nuanced and surprising portrait of the brilliant and contradictory man alone in the White House. President Nixon is a startling narrative of a desperately introverted man who dreamed of becoming the architect of his times. Late at night, he sat upstairs in the White House writing notes to himself on his yellow pads, struggling to define himself and his goals: "Compassionate, Bold, New, Courageous...Zest for the job (not lonely but awesome). Goals reorganized govt...Each day a chance to do something memorable for someone. Need to be good to do good...Need for joy, serenity, confidence, inspiration." But downstairs he was building a house of deception. He could trust no one because in his isolation he thought other people were like him. He governed by secret orders and false records, memorizing scripts for public appearances and even for one-on-one meetings with his own staff and cabinet. His principal assistants, Haldeman and Henry Kissinger, spied on him as he spied on them, while cabinet members, generals, and admirals spied on all of them rifling briefcases and desks, tapping each other's phones in a house where no one knew what was true anymore.

56. Memorials: Fond Farewells To US President Richard M. Nixon

http://tigerx.com/people/nixon.htm
Fond Farewell Richard M. Nixon 1913 - - - April 22, 1994 Born in California, Nixon had a brilliant record at Whittier College and Duke University Law School before beginning the practice of law. In 1940 he married Patricia Ryan and they had two daughters, Patricia and Julie. During World War II, Nixon served as a Navy lieutenant commander in the Pacific. In 1954 General Eisenhower selected Nixon, at age 39, to be his running mate. He was nominated for President by acclamation in 1960, he lost by a narrow margin to John F. Kennedy. In 1968, he again won his party's nomination, and went on to defeat Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and third-party candidate George C. Wallace. His accomplisments included one of the most dramatic events of his first term in 1969, when American astronauts made the first moon landing; his quest for world stability which included visits in 1972 to Beijing and Moscow, reducing tensions with China and the former USSR (Russia) and he announced an accord with North Viet Nam to end American involvement in Indochina. In 1974, his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, negotiated disengagement agreements between Israel and its opponents, Egypt and Syria. In his last years, Nixon gained praise as an elder statesman. By the time of his death on April 22, 1994, he had written numerous books on his experiences in public life and on foreign policy and was honored on an American postage stamp.

Nixon Documents and Sound Recordings
in full RICHARD MILHOUS NIXON (b. Jan. 9, 1913, Yorba Linda, Calif., U.S.d. April 22, 1994, New York, N.Y.), 37th president of the United States (1969-74), who, faced with almost certain impeachment, became the first U.S. president to resign from office. He also was vice president (1953-61) under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The son of a grocer, Nixon graduated from Whittier (Calif.) College in 1934 and from Duke University Law School, Durham, N.C., in 1937. He entered law practice in Whittier in 1937 and served briefly in the Office of Price Administration in Washington, D.C., soon after the outbreak of World War II. In August 1942 he joined the navy and served as an aviation ground officer in the Pacific. Following his return to civilian life in California, he was twice elected to the U.S. House of Representatives (1947, 1949). During this period, Nixon served on the House Un-American Activities Committee, taking a leading role in the investigation of Alger Hiss, a former State Department official who had been accused of spying for the Soviet Union. In 1950 Nixon was elected to the U.S. Senate after a campaign in which he claimed his opponent had communist sympathies; Nixon's reputation as an anticommunist made him a desirable running mate for Eisenhower in the 1952 campaign, which emphasized that issue. Nixon served two terms as vice president under Eisenhower. He was narrowly defeated by the Democrat John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election, and after losing the California gubernatorial election in 1962, Nixon announced his retirement from politics and moved to New York City to practice law.

    Perpsective on Richard M. Nixon
    By Robert Scheer
    Published April 25, 1994 in the Los Angeles Times

    The man seemed to me so awkward, even insecure. We did a box-step as he welcomed me into his office and I wondered if he was one of those who felt that a proper distance from others would prevent catching the common cold. He was friendly enough, speaking about his daughter, whom I knew, and mentioning surfing in California, which neither of us really cared about.
    Clearly, the preliminary chitchat was not his thing, and so we soon settled into an intense discussion, for almost three hours, about what ails the world. Suddenly, Richard M. Nixon was brilliant and in every way self-assured.
    That was 1984, 10 years after he was hounded out of office, but boy, could he hold forth. Pick a spot anywhere on the map, from Beirut to Kansas City, and he knew the players, the issues and the likely result. Even more obvious, if surprising to his critics, was how consistently reasonable and moderate he was. He had been around the block more than a few times, and whatever venom might have once been suggested, say in his earliest campaigns, was long gone.
    Now, of course, there will be no shortage of people to praise Nixon, but I have long had a soft spot for the man, thinking him attacked more for quirks of personality than for errors of policy. Indeed, the occasion of our visit was an article I had written for The Times suggesting that a revisionist view of the Nixon presidency was overdue.
