Nixon's Failed Attempt at Protecting the Office of President
[ send me this paper ]
In his Second Watergate Speech of August 13, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon tries to defend his culpability in the Republican Party actions discovered at the Watergate hotel and resultant impending impeachment by way of arguing for protection of the Office of the President by preventing certain aspects of the investigation through use of his power as president of the United States. This argument fails by virtue of the fact that, being under investigation for illegal acts, he is not in a position of protecting that office and his speech does not succeed in regaining that authority, making it a non-viable defense for his personal involvement in the Watergate activity. 2 works cited. jvNixonm.rtf
