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.
