Nixon leaves office
Having announced his resignation the day before, Richard M. Nixon
steps down from the the presidency of the United States and is
succeeded by Vice President Gerald R. Ford. Nixon had resigned
rather than face almost certain impeachment because of the
Watergate scandal, in which he was charged with misuse of
presidential powers to violate the constitutional rights of U.S.
citizens, obstruction of justice, and failure to respond to House
Judiciary Committee subpoenas. The departure of Nixon would prove
to be a fatal blow to the South Vietnamese, who always believed
that the American president would be there to make good his
promises to support them in their continuing post-ceasefire war
against the North Vietnamese.
