After losing his first presidential race to [[John F. Kennedy]] by a tiny margin in 1960, he unsuccessfully ran for Governor of California in 1962, losing to incumbent Edmund G Brown.
In 1968 he was elected president, and was reelected in 1972 by a landslide, but resigned the presidency on August 9, 1974 due to a threat of impeachment by Congress for the [[Watergate scandal]]. The main impeachment charge was that Nixon obstructed justice by engaging in [[deceit]], telling employees to mislead FBI investigators about the Watergate burglary.
