      Nixon had the decency to resign, therefore with time passed, he can be seen as the loveable monster. drumpf has never been, and will never be loved.

        Nixon was given the choice of resigning or being prosecuted. Decency didn’t enter into it, only his rat-like self-preservation instinct.

        The only reason that Nixon resigned was because he was informed, in no uncertain terms, that he would be impeached and formally removed from office. The House and Senate had secured the votes. He was prepared to be impeached if he could’ve stayed in office.
