How many people voted Richard Nixon guilty of the Watergate scandal?
There was never any such vote. The house judiciary committee did vote to impeach him by a vote of 27-11, but this was not a guilty/not guilty vote, just a vote to determine whether there was sufficient evidence to render further proceedings worthwhile. Nixon's resignation made impeachment no longer a consideration. While he still could have been tried in regular court, Ford issued him a full, unconditional, and complete pardon, making that a moot issue as well.
