Detailed explanation-1: -Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court unanimously ordered President Richard Nixon to deliver tape recordings and other subpoenaed materials related to the Watergate scandal to a federal district court.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nixon also offered the position to former New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, who declined. Instead, in 1969, Nixon nominated Warren E. Burger to the Chief Justice position.
Detailed explanation-3: -During nearly 20 years of retirement, Nixon wrote his memoirs and nine other books. He undertook many foreign trips, rehabilitating his image into that of an elder statesman and leading expert on foreign affairs. He suffered a debilitating stroke on April 18, 1994, and died four days later at the age of 81.
