ON THIS DAY: In 1974, Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency of the United States became effective at noon -- he was the first (and so far, only) person to resign from the office. Nixon was under threat of impeachment as a result of the Watergate scandal -- the unraveling of the criminal activities of the Nixon Administration by two D.C. journalists is thrillingly depicted in 1976's ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN.
