And Nixon had the good grace to resign rather than face possible impeachment and put the nation through that mess. . .unlike an other, ahem, democRAT president. . .
The next President also fell on his sword to keep the nation from being dragged though it. Ford knew if he Pardoned Nixon he’d throw away his chance to be elected on his own, but throw he did. I wonder how history would be different if Ford had followed through, declined to run in ‘76, and Reagan had gotten the Nomination?
