Requirements: PDF reader, 2.6 MB
Overview: A presidential scandal that rocked the country resulted in this landmark Supreme Court case on the issue of executive power. When it was discovered that President Richard Nixon kept audiotapes of all conversations conducted in the Oval Office, prosecutors subpoenaed those tapes to prove that the president and his aides were abusing their power. United States v. Nixon is the stunning account of how Nixon’s unwillingness to divulge information that would prove crucial to the pursuit of justice eventually led to the involvement of the Supreme Court. The Court unanimously decided that the president of the United States is not above the law and does not have absolute power. This volume captures the tense atmosphere surrounding this historic decision, which resulted in Nixon’s resignation in August 1974.
