Richard Nixon was forced to resign because he did what?

Richard Nixon was forced to resign primarily due to his involvement in the Watergate scandal, which included the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the subsequent cover-up efforts by his administration. The revelation of his administration's abuses of power and attempts to obstruct justice led to widespread public outrage and a loss of political support. Facing imminent impeachment, Nixon chose to resign on August 8, 1974, making him the first U.S. president to do so.
