was a tragic event in our history. Richard M Nixon was forced to resign as President of the US. He had currupted an election, abused his power and lied to the people. A congress that had not experienced the impeachment process was willing to take that necessary step to remove this man and restore dignity to the presidency.
Congress today, along with the nation, has a bad taste in its mouth about impeachment, having seen it used as an historic abuse of power toward Clinton. So, they sit idly by and watch this current administration make many of the same abuses that Nixon made - and then some if you read John Dean's book.
1974 was two years in to Nixons second term. What do you want our government to be focussing on in 2006?
