AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.9
If the Supreme Court hadn't ruled in United States v Nixon (1974) that executive privilege is not absolute, what implications could this have had?
Presidential term limits may not exist as they do today.
Impeachment proceedings against any president could never occur again after Nixon's presidency ended prematurely due to his resignation before impeachment took place fully..
Executive power over information could potentially be unchecked and excessive.
The Watergate scandal may never have become public knowledge and Nixon’s presidency wouldn’t end prematurely with his resignation.
