Yes, on November 17, 1973.
As the evidence mounted in the Watergate investigation by Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, Nixon had Cox fired, though only after having to remove both his Attorney General and Assistant Attorney General who refused to do it. This "Saturday Night Massacre" on October 20 was met by wide disapproval because of its obvious implications concerning Nixon's guilt in the criminal acts and coverups. During his next news conference, Nixon tried to justify his actions to a skeptical media, ending in his assertion "I am not a crook" (meaning that he believed that whatever he did as President could not be construed as criminal). But his new Special Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, uncovered the same evidence of criminal acts as Cox did, and Nixon's White House aides were soon indicted and convicted. With Nixon's own part revealed by his own White House tape recordings, Congressional impeachment was going to succeed. This led Nixon to resign on August 9, 1974.
