History

Historical Context

In June 1972 the Watergate break-in at the DNC headquarters sparked a congressional probe that uncovered an Oval Office taping system. After the “smoking-gun” tape aired on August 5 1974 and Republican leaders warned President Richard Nixon on August 7 that impeachment was certain, he announced his resignation on August 8, effective the next day. The scandal produced convictions of 48 officials and made Gerald Ford president, reshaping presidential accountability.
