Under the right of Impeachment brought about by the founding fathers in the articles, provides the House and the Senate the right to strip the powers of the executive branch.
"Nixon, a former Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, was convicted by a jury of two counts of making false statements before a federal grand jury and sentenced to prison."
This in itself was one of many charges including "The grand jury investigation stemmed from reports that Nixon had accepted a gratuity from a Mississippi businessman in exchange for asking a local district attorney to halt the prosecution of the businessman's son".
Nixon had accepted Bribery, provoked bribes, Lied under Oath, Had taken part in conspiracy, and once more refused to resign from his position and continued to receive payment DESPITE being imprisoned for several crimes.This gave turn to “the Senate voted to invoke its own Impeachment Rule XI, under which the presiding officer appoints a committee of Senators to "receive evidence and take testimony." Senate Impeachment Rule XI, reprinted in Senate Manual, S. Doc. No. 101-1, 101st Cong., 1st ".
In essence Nixon himself had slandered and battered the cases and gone beyond the limitations of the executive branch thus allowing him to receive privileges that should have been striped. By Impeaching the president from office and removing his rights he would no longer be able to pardon his Crimes or use the system to his will based sole on position. The evidence to itself proved Nixon’s guild and was strong enough to set upon the Supreme Courts door where the Chef Justice MUST be present to allow the Impeachment process to go through. Without the Chef Justice available to be at the assemble where Nixon was to be Try, the Impeachment would be null and void and the Senate would lose the case regardless of prosecution.
