Answer :
President Nixon resigned from the presidency because of the role he had in the Watergate break-in and also the loss of the case in United States v. Nixon. Following this landmark Supreme Court decision Nixon resigned 16 days later.
: Rationale: A lack of support. It was discovered that Nixon’s advisors had connections to the individuals involved in the burglary at the democratic headquarters. Not long after, Nixon was forced to release transcripts of all his recorded conversations at the White House. Nixon complied, but did not turn over any of the recorded conversations with his advisors. He claimed that as president he had the right to keep discussions with his advisors private. As the case details were released through the media, Americans were shocked to learn that the President might be involved in criminal activity and withdrew their support.
