Nixon resumed bombing of North Vietnam to instill a threat upon the North Vietnamese. He removed the troops and increased bombings leaving the North Vietnamese to believe only one thing... that he was going to drop an atomic bomb. Nixon nor any U.S. president would drop an atomic bomb threatening the lives of U.S. troops. Therefore, by bombing North Vietnam, he was able to continue to fight against the North Vietnamese without using his ground troops.

Mr. Nixon begun his political career as an ardent anti-Communist. He was hostile towards socialists and communists who he regarded as archenemies. He entered politics largely by branding his opponent for a House seat as an ally of Communists.

Articles for the impeachment of Richard M. Nixon were filed. He resigned before certain impeachment occurred.

It has never happend, but Art. II Sec. 2 of the Constitution states says that the president "shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." So, it's very posibble, & probably would depend on what he did.

it is quite easy to concentrate on Watergate which sadly overlooks a decent presidential record.

Nixons 3 biggest achievements were -

1 - Fully implimenting desegregation of schools.

2 - Ending Vietnam under acceptable circumstances.

3 - Opening up relationships with Russia/China.

By his own admission Nixon prefered dealing with foreign policy to that of domestic however as a domestic leader he achieved a lot considering he came into power with a Democrat heavy senate.

When Nixon 1st came into power America was in recession, was deeply involved in Vietnam and had great domestic problems with race.

It can argueably be claimed that by the time of his resignation he solves all of these problems by simply implimenting hard line politics.

Two U.S. presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth chief executive, and William J. Clinton, the forty-second. ----------------------- While both were impeached, neither Johnson nor Clinton were convicted.

Resignation can be equivalent to retirement. If you resign and you have no intention of seeking other work, then you are retired. If you resign but you still want to go back to work for some other employer, then you are just unemployed.
