If he hadn't resigned, Nixon would've been impeached by the House, then convicted by the Senate, after which he would've been and ex-President no matter how much the public approved of him. The leaders of Nixon's own party, e.g., Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, Senator Barry Goldwater, and House Minority Leader John Jacob Rhodes, told him he had no hope of remaining President. If Republican congress members ever turn on Trump to the same degree, he's out no matter his approval rating.
