Who was the president of the United States who stepped down because of Watergate?

Watergate has long been synonymous with corruption and scandal, which directly led to the downfall of President Knicks. Watergate incident seriously violated American politics in the post-Watergate era and had a great influence on the power of the president in the American constitutional system of separation of powers.

On the Potomac River in the northwest of Washington, D.C., there is a building consisting of a five-star hotel, a high-grade office building and two luxury apartments. At the entrance of the main entrance of the building, there is a small artificial waterfall flying down and splashing, which makes the whole building group have the reputation of "Watergate". Even now, Watergate Hotel is still one of the most luxurious hotels in Washington.

1972 June 17, five Watergate "thieves" broke into the office of the Democratic National Committee here to install bugs and shoot documents. The Watergate scandal might never have broken out if frank g. wells, a security guard, hadn't complained about the insomnia of hotel guests and found that the door lock leading from the underground garage to the hotel building had been taped twice.

Watergate incident mainly tore open the ugly veil of the American presidential election, exposed the behind-the-scenes shady means to the world, and let the world know that this election is actually a lie and deception, just as Mark Twain said when running for governor, it is a naked joke and a real unscrupulous way to achieve its goal.

After the incident, Nixon once tried to cover up his defense, but in the subsequent investigation of this case, many people in Nixon's government were exposed one after another, directly involving Nixon himself, which triggered a serious constitutional crisis. Later, in order to keep the joke going, President Nixon announced his resignation and became the first American president to step down because of the scandal.

From this incident, we can see that American-style democracy is actually a kind of democracy dominated by lies and deception, which has a strong performance nature. Not as perfect as they advertised, but better in makeup.
