Answer 2

The term Watergate scandal refers to a 1972 break-in of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. by members of the Richard Nixon administration. The burglars' aim was to plant listening devices, while disguised as common criminals to provide cover. They were informally called the "plumbers unit" to "plug leaks," and included former members of the CIA. Though then-President Nixon had endured two years of mounting political embarrassments, the court-ordered release in August, 1974, of a "smoking gun tape" about the burglaries brought with it the prospect of certain impeachment for Nixon; he resigned only four days later on August 9, making him the only U.S. President to have resigned from office.

Answer 3

Your first answer is quite accurate. However a few details were left out. For more info on Watergate search on key words Deepthroat and Forest Gump.

Answer 4

during president nixon's 2nd term in office, he had some men brake into the democrat's headquarters (nixon is republican). in the watergate building in D.C. for information from the opposing party, but the police caught the men and they found a letter from the white house with the men, that is how they tied it to nixon.

nixon however claimed he had nothing to do with it, so he wasn't thrown out of office, but he did resign before his term was up. then president ford (who just died) pardened nixon instead of making him go to court and be found guilty and sent to jail.

Answer 5

it was when nixons cronies broke into the watergate building to steal campaign info from his opponent nixon resigned when the media found out and ford pardoned him

Answer 6

It was one of the Disney water parks, blizzard beach, I think. The real high slide had these doors you would sit on, they would open and you would drop down the chute, it stopped working due to lack of American help. They were using illegal workers.

You do have the internet, use it.
