The author condemns Richard Nixon after reading White House tapes and tax records, labeling him immoral and hypocritical. It argues his focus on appearances over principles and warns that disclosure backfired, urging resignation or impeachment to restore faith and balance among government branches.
The piece argues resignation proves unsatisfactory and impeachment is justified. It asserts a Senate trial should be deliberate, warns against mob justice, and notes public revulsion and Republican defections. It urges the House to act quickly as transcripts bolster the case.

It warns of national drift without strong leadership, damages to the Republican Party, and the need to separate the presidency from the current office holder to preserve national security prerogatives and the public’s confidence.
