There were several pending charges against Nixon, and he took his cue from those around him whom he trusted most. There was no question that if he stayed in office, he would be tried in the House and Senate, the question was if he could beat the charges in both places. He spent the last week of his presidency seeking thoughtful advice from those around him. Henry Kissinger advised him to resign, but when Barry Goldwater - one of the staunchest Nixon supporters - told him that he, himself, would vote for impeachment on at least one charge - Abuse of Presidential Power - that was when Nixon elected to resign the office.
