epicness
One scandal associated with the Clinton presidency was the Monica Lewinsky scandal. It involved President Clinton's extramarital affair with a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky, which led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice, although he was ultimately acquitted by the Senate.
In order to answer this question i sadly have to say that he faced certain impeachment but I'll talk about that AFTER i state why. anyways, Nixon was known for the Watergate scandal & faced almost certain impeachment therefore he was the first president to resign, EVER IN THE HISTORY OF PRESIDENCY. Hope i was of great assistance.
Nixon resigned voluntarily before they did any voting for impeachment in Congress. The Supreme Court called for his impeachment, but there was still to vote in the Senate and House. If he stayed, he probably would have been impeached.
most Americans regarded the president's personal life as something to be separated from his conduct of the presidency

Teapot Dome Scandal
President Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency on August 8, 1974, following the Watergate scandal. While no one forced Nixon to resign directly, mounting evidence of his involvement in the cover-up and his impending impeachment by Congress led to his decision to step down. The threat of impeachment and removal from office played a significant role in his resignation.
