The fanciest way a person could have said "you can't fire me, I already quit!"

2:56 Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office.

I was there when all this happened. As a young child, JFK’s assassination taught me that even the President was mortal. And as a teenager, Watergate taught me the President was also fallible.

I can't imagine what this must have been like at the time. With all the media and newspapers headlines, the reports on television, everyone talking about it everywhere. I almost wished I wouldve been alive at that time to witness it from the beginning.

If Nixon had simply not ordered the cover-up and let the FBI do its job, he would have served out his Presidency.
