Archibald Cox
yes, Richard Nixon did,
Richard Nixon (37th President, 1969-1974) was the only President to date to resign from office. He did so because of pending impeachment proceedings against him, following Congressional hearings on criminal acts by the administration. A special prosecutor had been fired after learning that White House aides conspired to cover up a pattern of political "dirty tricks" against Nixon's Democratic rivals. It was the culmination of the so-called "Watergate scandal". While Nixon was pardoned, many of his subordinates were tried, convicted, and imprisoned for their illegal actions.United States President Richard Nixon resigned from office, he was the 37th President.
The Watergate Scandal (1972-1974) (or just "Watergate") was an American political scandal and constitutional crisis that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.The term 'Watergate' refers to the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC. The hotel was the location of the Democratic Party National Headquarters in 1972.A security guard caught a handful of burglars breaking into the Democratic Party Headquarters. Some of the burglars had ties to people in the Nixon administration, and president Nixon tried to minimize the damage to his administration. The resulting cover-up became known as 'Watergate'.The scandal came in the political context of the ongoing Vietnam War, which had since Lyndon Johnson's presidency grown increasingly unpopular with the American public. The term "Watergate" refers to a series of events, spanning over two years, that began with the Nixon administration's abuse of power toward the goal of undermining political opposition in the public anti-war movement and the Democratic Party.Ultimately, the congressional investigations uncovered numerous unethical and illegal activities by people very close to the president.Though Nixon had endured two years of mounting political embarrassments, the court-ordered release of the "smoking gun tape" in August 1974 brought with it the prospect of certain impeachment for Nixon, and he resigned only four days later on August 9.Today, any public scandal, real or exaggerated, can be identified as such simply by attaching the suffix -gate to the word. Nanny-gate, Iran-contra-gate, and Travel-gate are examples.President Richard Nixon's staff broke in to the Watergate hotel (hence the name Watergate) and stole information from the Democrats. For this Nixon would have been impeached (he would have been tried and, when found guilty, fired from his job as president). To prevent being impeached, Nixon resigned (i.e. quit).Watergate is a hotel in Washington DC. During Richard Nixon's run for reelection the Democratic campaign headquarters was located in this hotel. Men from the Committee to Reelect Nixon broke into and burgled the Democrat offices and were caught. This burglary is called the Watergate break-in. This eventually lead to Nixon's resignation.The resignation of a president Obstruction of an FBI investigation Legislation to curb executive power

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.
