"I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow."
Mr. Nixon's resignation shocked the public. Fall out from a scandal known as Watergate. The Watergate Complex housed the opposition Democratic Party Headquarters where police discovered five burglars 40 years ago. That discovery hinged on this door, now on display at the Newseum in Washington. Kerry Stopherson is the Newseum's curator.
"A door from the Watergate building that was taped open and discovered by a security guard that's precipitating what winds up being the Watergate we know today, which is not just a hotel but the scandal that brings down a president."
Two Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein investigated the break-in and uncovered ties to Mr. Nixon's White House.理查德•尼克松于1974年成为第一个且唯一一个辞职的美国总统。
“我会在明天中午辞去总统的职位。”
尼克松先生的辞职震惊了广大民众。事件源于一个叫做水门的丑闻。反对派民主党的总部就坐落于水门综合大厦 ，四十年前警方在那里发现了五个窃贼。该发现与现展示于华盛顿博物馆的这扇门有关。凯瑞•斯多夫森是该博物馆的馆长。
“水门大厦中被贴胶带使其保持打开状态，并被保安人员发现的一扇门发展成为我们今天意识中所认为的水门，它不仅仅是一家酒店，更是一个将总统拉下台的丑闻。”
两名来自华盛顿邮报的记者，鲍勃•伍德沃和卡尔•伯恩斯坦调查了这起非法闯入事件，并揭露了与尼克松先生政府间不为人知的关系。
