Uh Lee, too much, way too much Cajun moonshine for you..

Nixon got elected in 1968 and re-elected in 1972.

Upon his re-election, he was launched into the final term of Presidency that he
could lawfully serve..

The Watergate scandal broke after his re-election, thusly he would not have to
worry about facing the voters..

In the House the ink had nearly dried on the paper the impeachment articles
were written on when he resigned.

Had Congress did nothing about it, regardless of the resignation, the voters
only recourse would have been to fire Congress in the 74 Mid-term election.
