President Richard Nixon defends actions in the Vietnam war during a David Frost interview series while noting the presidency carries a legal umbrella. He claims the president can decide what is in the nation’s best interests, a view rejected by Jimmy Carter and Ford. Carter states no president has the right to break the law and Ford reiterates his past pardon. The dialogue references Watergate, Ellsberg, Huston plan, and impeachment findings.
