Because of the Watergate Scandal. Nixon had denied any involvement in the break-ins into the Democrat Party Headquarters at the Watergate Complex, but the media soon discovered he had been in charge of it. According to the US Constitution, a US President can be impeached (sacked by Congress) for lying. Nixon chose to resign rather than by impeached.
