Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Issued on July 24, 1974, the decision was important to the late stages of the Watergate scandal, when there was an ongoing impeachment process against Richard Nixon. United States v. Nixon is considered a crucial precedent limiting the power of any U.S. president to claim executive privilege.
Detailed explanation-2: -A unanimous Court concluded that neither the separation of powers nor a generalized need for confidential communications supported an absolute privilege. The Court set a standard of “demonstrated specific need” for enforcement of a federal criminal subpoena to the President.
