Can a president place himself above the law? In the summer of 1974, that question had a live answer — and Richard Nixon didn't like it.
Episode 8 of Watergate: The Nixon Cover-Up follows the constitutional machinery that actually forced Nixon from office. Not the press, not the Senate hearings, but the courts. We trace the chain of events from the June 17, 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters, through Alexander Butterfield's bombshell Senate testimony revealing Nixon's secret White House taping system, to the Saturday Night Massacre — the night Nixon ordered the firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, and two senior Justice Department officials resigned rather than carry out the order.
At the centre of it all sits United States v. Nixon, the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that shattered the claim of absolute executive privilege. Chief Justice Warren Burger — Nixon's own appointee — wrote the opinion. Eight justices to zero. The president must surrender the tapes.
What those tapes contained sealed Nixon's fate. The Smoking Gun recording of June 23, 1972, captured Nixon and H.R. Haldeman planning to use the CIA to obstruct the FBI's Watergate investigation — just six days after the break-in. Nixon wasn't reacting to a cover-up. He was running it.
This episode unpacks the legal arguments, the constitutional stakes, and the precise sequence of revelations that left Nixon with no path forward — only a resignation address on August 8, 1974.
