Reflections on Nixon Impeachment Debate and Leadership
The piece argues lawmakers voted impeachment due to overwhelming evidence and Nixon’s conduct. It notes committee judges felt compelled to act, questions motives, cites Weicker’s outrage and Curtis’s defense, and predicts Nixon’s exit by June 1974 amid damning evidence and loss of options. Nixon’s behavior is described as aberrant, warranting unease until impeachment concludes.
