And all those years ago, men had a sense of honor. Most men who are worthy of the name would resign if some shameful act was brought to light - or keeping their position meant dragging the country into shame.

Case in point, Richard Nixon, who resigned rather than have the country go through a horribly divisive impeachment process.

Well, there is honor and there is honor. I remember JFK and Marilyn Monroe. And I’ll wager a guess it was extremely common, and nobody personally involved was complaining much.

Doesn’t make it ok, but there needs to be some serious perspective applied to this stuff. And that includes both the seriousness of the charges, the veracity of the charges, the timing of the charges and the age of the event(s) in the charges.

“Case in point, Richard Nixon, who resigned rather than have the country go through a horribly divisive impeachment process.”

Even though he was innocent of any impeachable offense.
