Excuse me.
Nixon *resigned* before he was to be impeached.
He was not pardoned until he was out. The pardon came from Gerald R. Ford.
Nixon was impeached by the House Judiciary Committee in late July, 1974 when 6 of 17 Republicans joined all 21 Democrats in voting for the impeachment. Yes, Nixon resigned before the impeachment trial was conducted by the Senate. Gerald Ford was "appointed" to serve out the remainder of Nixon's term along with Nelson Rockefeller as vice present. It was the first and only time in United States history the country had a president and vice president who were not elected by the people in an election.
