Nixon, that former president the person you’re responding to brought up, was going to be impeached by his fellow Republican party members. > On August 5, 1974, Nixon released a transcript of one of the additional conversations to the public, known as the "smoking gun" tape, which made clear his complicity in the Watergate cover-up. This disclosure destroyed Nixon politically. His most loyal defenders in Congress announced they would vote to impeach and convict Nixon for obstructing justice. Republican congressional leaders met with Nixon and told him that his impeachment and removal were all but certain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_process_against_Richard_Nixon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_process_against_Ri...
