Best Answer

Richard Nixon was never convicted of anything involving the Watergate matter. After Nixon resigned, President Gerald Ford gave Nixon a presidential pardon for any and all acts he committed during his presidency in that matter. Thus, he was spared from even being accused of any criminal action, much less being convicted of such activity. Aside from criminal prosecution, Nixon also escaped impeachment by resigning the presidency before formal articles of impeachment could be voted on by the full House of Representatives even though a House committee had voted to recommend impeachment.
