THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO RECOMMENDED IMPEACHMENT FOR RICHARD NIXON. The committee members are formally posed in their hearing room, with Chairman Peter W. Rodino seated at center, with other members seated or standing around him. Notables include Rep. Barbara Jordan, then Rep. Trent Lott, William Cohen, Charles Rangel, Elizabeth Holztman, Paul Sarbanes and Hamilton Fish. "THE RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED..." The House Judiciary Committee opened hearings on the possible impeachment of President Richard M. Nixon on 9 May 1974. The Senate's Select Committee on the Watergate break-in had already laid out the broad outlines for an obstruction of justice charge. The President refused to turn over subpoenaed tapes, fired the special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, who insisted on enforcing the subpoena, and suborned aides who either perjured themselves or withheld evidence. The fragments of tapes that Nixon did release painted a dismal picture of a cursing, bigoted Chief Magistrate, who conducted bald-faced discussions about paying hush-money to witnesses, and other illegal acts. The tenor of the Committee's hearing were at first partisan and combative, but over the course of the summer, with one damning revelation on top of another, even the President's most ardent defenders could no longer support him. Over the course of 27-30 July 1974 the Committee voted to recommend three articles of impeachment to the full House, for obstruction of justice, abuse of presidential powers, and contempt of Congress. In early August the Supreme Court ordered Nixon to release the tapes of key conversations from 23 June 1972, which showed him explicitly ordering the obstruction of the Watergate burglary investigation. Nixon's Congressional support collapsed utterly, and he resigned his office on 9 August, rather than face almost certain impeachment, conviction, and removal.
