Summary
The Republicans were accused of crime just as Richard Nixon was due to run for the 1972 election. A total of 5 men were caught breaking into the Democrat headquarters to plant a number of bugs. This incident led to more corruptness and Nixon was implicated in the coverup, but he resigned before he could be impeached.

Additionally he restored America's faith in government and continued the detente movement.
