In the summer of 1974 Richard Nixon faced mounting pressure because of the continuing discoveries of the Watergate scandal.

His approval rating reached an all time low of 23% meaning more than 3 of 4 people thought he was doing a poorer than average job.

Finally on August 9th, 1974 Richard Nixon resigned in order to avoid facing impeachment by the Congress.
