[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nixon fired the people investigating him in 1973. He was kicked out in 1974.

We are on track.[/quote]

Nixon wasn't "kicked out."  He resigned before being impeached. [b]Had he not resigned, it is highly doubtful that he would have been convicted. Several Republicans would have had to defect. [/b]I never supported Nixon, but to his credit, he never wanted to put the country into a crisis. When JFK won the election, it was because so many dead people voted in Illinois. Nixon could have contested the result but decided that it would be too traumatic for the country. Similarly, a Senate trial would have been traumatic for the nation. Presidents can be impeached, but they are very difficult to convict. Two presidents have been impeached, neither was convicted, and Nixon could not have been convicted without the support of several Republican senators. [/quote]

More than "several Republicans" were absolutely going to defect, notably Barry Goldwater. That's why he resigned. [/quote]
