<< Food for thought and lively discussion: President Nixon's resignation, what led up to it, what followed it and why. What did we expect to achieve by forcing President Nixon out of office and what did we achieve? Is history repeating itself? >>

Hi, Holly. Some interesting questions. At the risk of seeming too elemental, I think the first question is "who is "we""? Those who actively went after Nixon could have felt (charitably) that they were removing a "blot" from the presidency. That achievement was probably an end in itself for them. In the same manner, I believe many feel the same way about the current resident of the WH.

Do "we" do the presidency more harm by removing blots, or leaving them in? Obviously there is disagreement on this question.

Personally, I agree with David.
