I think most people got bored with all the congressional hearings. People who did not like Nixon found the scandal to be a reason to hate him. The Democrats won the White House in 1976 with a weak candidate, probably due in large part to the Watergate Scandal and Ford's pardon of Nixon.
Many people felt that the government, particularly the Presidency, had betrayed them.
The Crédit Mobilier scandal involved "Boss" Tweed and the Tweed Ring.
The Watergate scandal was a political scandal in the United States in the 1970s, resulting from the break-in into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. Effects of the scandal ultimately led to the resignation of the United States President Richard Nixon on August 9, 1974. In June of 1972 in Washington, D.C. an event occurred, a burglary, which ended up holding worldwide importance. It was on this date that five people broke into the Democratic National Headquarters to bug their telephones. These men were members of the 'Plumbers', a group of anti-Castro Cuban refugees, former FBI agents and former CIA agents among others. The group was strongly Republican. The place they broke into was The Watergate Hotel. Many people remember the name Watergate as a blanket term used to describe the fall of President Richard Nixon.

One of the legacies of the Watergate Scandal is people do not trust the government as much as they did before. It has also led to more transparency on the part of the government.
Most people were shocked and outraged by the Watergate scandal, as it revealed deep corruption at the highest levels of government. Public trust in political institutions plummeted, leading to widespread disillusionment with the presidency and the political system. Many citizens demanded accountability and transparency, culminating in President Nixon's resignation in 1974. The scandal also sparked greater media scrutiny and a more skeptical public attitude toward government officials.
This term came from the breakin of the Watergate hotel that was used as site for the Democratic party during Nixon presidency.Subsequent history has proven that breakin with those employed in the Republican party of Richard Nixon.The people were jailed and Nixon was impeached as a direct result of that which was confirmed in the infamous Nixon Whitehouse tapes. Improvement: NO. That is NOT true. Nixon was NOT impeached, you dumb people. He RESIGNED. God.
