Nathan,
You need to modify this statement - There was a chain of events that led to the impeachment of Richard Nixon...
Nixon was never impeached.
You are quite correct, Nixon was not impeached. As I recall, the House committee voted out articles of impeachment and it was a foregone conclusion that the whole house would then impeach Nixon. He resigned and short-circuited the process. I should know all this because I once argued that I had won a bet that Nixon would be impeached and convicted in impeachment. But my partner welshed, saying that Nixon resigned but was not impeached.
Needless to say, I did not pay him either.
