After Nixon's resignation several reform measures were brought before Congress to rectify loopholes in existing laws that allowed Nixon to legally pursue constructing such a personally ambitious and corrupt political structure.
These lawyers fresh out of law school, Bill and Hillary Clinton, have been well aware of the existing Watergate reform laws and understood what Nixon's aims and ambitions were. They had already began their own quests for political power as offspring of the [[McGovern-Fraser reforms]] in 1971-72.
These lawyers fresh out of law school, Bill and Hillary Clinton, have been well aware of the existing Watergate reform laws, such as
*Amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act in 1974 limiting campaign contributions and expenditures, and creating the [[FEC]];
*the [[Freedom of Information Act]] (FOIA); and
*the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

Today we now see the frightening realization of the combination of the two models - CREEP and the Nixon Library - in the Clinton Foundation. It is already said [[John McCain]], who never served as President, and [[Barack Obama]] who is just beginning to solicit for his library, are building their own global influence peddling perpetual entities on the Clinton Foundation model.
The first red-flag went up in 1997 when the William J. Clinton Foundation was created as a public charity; the Clinton Presidential Library is unique among Presidential Libraties in that it was not founded as a private charity, which is subject to more stringent [[IRS]] regulations.
Meredith McGehee of the Campaign Legal Center has lobbied Congress to ban officeholders from getting involved with foundations and other tax-exempt groups. By operating outside disclosure rules, the foundation gives foreign donors an avenue to influence [[election]]s.<ref>http://www.rollcall.com/news/clinton_foundations_missteps_point_to_broader_problem-241644-1.html </ref><ref>http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-clinton-foundation-idUSKBN0NW0A420150511 </ref>
