Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974.

The Watergate scandal had prompted investigations of illegal political activities by those in Nixon's administration, and the House had begun impeachment proceedings against the President. After Gerald Ford became the 38th President, he pardoned Nixon, but many White House officials were tried, convicted, and imprisoned for their illegal acts.
