United States vs. Nixon

During President Nixon's 1974 reelection campaign, Nixon hired people to break into the white house and rig the election so Nixon would win. Once he was caught, the case was brought to court. When the prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, demanded Nixon bring the tapes to court, he refused. Eventually, the court got hold of the tapes and revealed them but 14 minutes were missing from the tape. Nixon was eventually found guilty. I personally think that any president who does that should immediately be put in prison and should never be allowed to run for any political spot. Having a president who is willing to cheat just to get re-elected is embarrassing. The President of the United States should be a lot more honest and confident than that.
