.impeached vs forced to resign

Yes, Nixon saved us from an impeachment battle. If he didn't resign Nixon would have been impeached because the Republicans at the time where willing to go after someone "on their side" who had done wrong.

lied about sex vs breaking into dem. headquarters and then lying about it.

Perjury and possible obstruction of justice vs. likely obstruction of justice. Fairly even.

Edit - Nixon didn't break in to the democratic headquarters and there is not much in the way of evidence to suggest that he planned it or even knew about it before it happened. What borught him down is the attempt to cover it up after it happened.
