Richard Nixon was not impeached. Three articles of impeachment (for abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and contempt of Congress) were drafted by Congress but the case never proceeded. Nixon resigned to make impeachment a moot point and Ford's pardon of Nixon made indictment impossible.

Can a person run for president after they been impeached?

Yes, a person can run for president after being impeached, as impeachment does not disqualify someone from seeking office. Impeachment is a political process that can lead to removal from office, but if a person is not convicted by the Senate, they remain eligible. However, if they are removed from office as a result of impeachment, they may be disqualified from holding any future office, depending on the terms set by the Senate during the impeachment process.


Who sacked Richard Nixon?

Congress and the senate were making preparations for an impeachment. An impeachment would take an half year during which the president could not function. Nixon felt that this was desastrous for the country and for the republican party and resigned. So actually he sacked himself.


Why impeachment and when it taking place?

Impeachment is a constitutional process used to remove a sitting president or other federal officials from office for committing "high crimes and misdemeanors." It typically involves a two-step process: the House of Representatives votes to impeach, followed by a trial in the Senate to determine whether to convict and remove the official. Impeachment proceedings can occur at any time during a president's term, usually prompted by allegations of misconduct. Notable impeachments in U.S. history include those of Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton, with varying outcomes.


If a President has been found guilty during the impeachment process is he still referred to as President?

No. If the president is found guilty by 2/3 of the Senate, he is stripped on his office and is no longer President . ( I suppose, however, that some might still call him "President".)
