Explanation

In United States v. Nixon (1974), the Supreme Court ruled that Nixon had to turn over the Watergate-related White House tapes, rejecting his claim of absolute executive privilege. The tapes helped reveal his involvement in the cover-up, and he resigned soon afterward. The decision did not itself impeach him; the House was considering impeachment at the time.
