As more proof and allegations emerged about the Watergate scandal, Nixon lost most of his political supporters. He was close to being impeached, in which he could have been forcibly removed from office. Rather than going through that, he decided to resign instead.

What was the constitutional issue that brought US v. Nixon to the Supreme Court?
United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683 (1974)President Nixon refused to give the Special Prosecutor (Leon Jaworski) in the Watergate Scandal tapes of recorded telephone calls between the President and various people implicated in the crime and its cover-up. Nixon attempted to invoke Executive Privilege, a constitutional protection allowing the Executive branch to withhold information from the Legislative and Judicial branches, under separation of powers.The Supreme Court held that Nixon had to give Jaworski the tapes, because withholding them interfered with the Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights of the defendants being charged in the case. Nixon's status was considered that of an unindicted conspirator, and that the US Supreme Court had jurisdiction over the case. This decision affirmed one of the Judicial branch's checks on the Executive branch.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

In Forrest Gump what kept Forrest awake at night when he visited Washington DC?
Nixon's White House Plumbers kept him awake. Forrest was staying at the Watergate Hotel, because Nixon recommended it to him. He sees people snooping around with flashlights in the room across from him, so he innocently calls the front desk to report what he thinks is a power failure. The implication is that Nixon's Plumbers would not have been caught -- and thus, Nixon would never have resigned the Presidency in disgrace -- if it hadn't been for Forrest.
