51 years ago today, August 8, 1974 (June 21, 1974 in the lunar calendar), Nixon resigned due to the Watergate Incident. It may be unbelievable that Nixon resigned due to the Watergate incident. Nixon, the U.S. President who was the first to visit the mainland of China during his term of office, was forced to resign shortly after returning to China because of lying. During Republican President Nixon's re-election campaign, in order to know the Democratic Party's campaign strategy, his campaign team arranged for personnel to sneak into the Democratic Party's campaign headquarters in Watergate Building on the evening of June 17, 1972. They were caught red-handed while installing a bug and secretly stealing campaign documents. Nixon responded that he was interested in "Watergate Incident??" Without knowing it. At first, the public did not pay much attention to this matter. Coupled with Nixon's good performance in his first term, he was still re-elected with an overwhelming majority. July 23, 1973, "Watergate Incident??" Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox asked the White House to hand over tapes of conversations from the Oval Office to find out "Watergate Incident??" The truth. Nixon believed the request was too much, so he used presidential privilege to refuse to hand over the tape, and then dismissed the attorney general, deputy secretary, and special prosecutor. But in the face of public pressure, Nixon appointed lawyer Leon Jaworski to serve as the post. "Watergate Incident??" Special prosecutor. On February 6, 1974, the House of Representatives approved the impeachment investigation of Nixon, and subsequently approved three charges of impeaching Nixon: obstruction of judicial investigation, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress. On July 24, the Federal Supreme Court ruled in "United States v. Nixon??" China unanimously ruled that the president must hand over all original audio tapes. Congressman Barbara Jordan spoke in the House of Representatives on July 25. "Watergate Incident??" A wonderful speech entitled "Impeachment of Nixon" was delivered at the hearing, which was selected into the "100 Classic American Speeches of the 20th Century". Jordan said: "Impeachment is a restriction on the misconduct of senior national civil servants and a way to conduct a national trial of civil servants.??" The original White House recording released on August 5 proved that Nixon concealed "Watergate Incident??" The truth, he lied, even his own lawyers Fred Buzhardit and James Claire said: "The president lied to the people of the country and deceived his closest aides and lawyers.??" On August 7, Nixon met with Republican leaders of the House and Senate at the White House and learned that there was no doubt that the House passed the impeachment bill and that only 15 people in the Senate expressed support for the president. Nixon betrayed his relatives and fled. In order to avoid impeachment, he delivered a nationally televised speech in the Oval Office of the White House on the evening of August 8 and announced his resignation, effective the next day. After Vice President Ford succeeded as president, he announced a pardon for Nixon's tenure as president. "All crimes committed or may be committed or participated in?? ¡±¡£The president was pardoned, but "Watergate Incident??" In the case, 69 government officials were sent to court, 48 of whom were convicted, including the Attorney General, the Whitehall Chief of Staff, and presidential advisers. Most of the charges were "Perjury?? ¡±¡£
