Detailed explanation-1: -Resolution containing three articles of impeachment adopted July 30, 1974; the impeachment proceedings ended on August 20, 1974 without an impeachment vote, after President Nixon resigned from office.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sirica, acting on a request from Jaworski, issued a subpoena for the tapes of 64 presidential conversations to use as evidence in the criminal cases against indicted former Nixon administration officials. Nixon refused, and Jaworski appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to force Nixon to turn over the tapes.
Detailed explanation-3: -By late 1973, the Nixon administration’s involvement in Watergate eroded his support in Congress and the country.
