Best Answer

No one "forced" Nixon to resign. He chose to quit to avoid impeachment on criminal charges and possible incarceration. Given the mood of the country at the time if he had stayed in office there is a strong possibility that he would have been legally removed from office and could have been jailed for his crimes.
