Answer 1

Richard Nixon. He resigned from presidency because of the water gate scandal!!!!

Answer 2

Richard Nixon

Step-by-step explanation:

One event that marked Nixon's administration was his involvement in the Watergate Scandal and his subsequent resign from office in order to avoid impeachment from Congress.

The Watergate Scandal was an event that resulted from the arrest of five burglars who had been caught wiretapping phones, stealing documents and doing illegal activities that were connected to Nixon’s reelection campaign.

After the scandal, Nixon tried to cover the crime and refused to show the unedited tapes and documents to the Court, which was a clear proof of the existing corruption during his time in office. And being in trouble with justice, the President decided to resign in order to avoid impeachment in 1974.
