In the summer of 1972, the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Complex were broken into. Since then, there have been allegations that Richard Nixon was both aware of the break-ins and attempted to cover them up, but nothing has ever been proven.
My question for all of you is what would have happened if some kind of evidence had come to light directly implicating Nixon in the scandal? Would he have been impeached, or even removed from office? Would the CVN-77 still have been the 'USS Richard M. Nixon'?
Would Ronald Reagan have still won in 1976, or even been the Republican candidate at all?
Would the Democrats have re-taken the White House in 1984, or could they have taken it back earlier (bear in mind, the 76 and 80 election were very very close)?
And who would be the President today?
