Argued July 8, decided July 24, 1974 By Melissa Davenport & Maria Terrero Maria Terrero

The constitutional issue was the court wanted the tapes as evidence, but Nixon didn’t want to give the tapes. The court couldn’t get the tape because it invaded privacy, and couldn’t get the tape without a court warrant.

Congress held that The President's power to claim executive privilege is not an absolute one. Executive privilege may not be deny the courts access to evidence needed in a criminal proceeding. This is a dispute that can properly be heard in the federal courts.

In 1973, a Senate select committee began an investigation, and it became sure that Nixon administration were involved in a cover-up of the break-in and several other illegal actions. Nixon had installed a taping system that automatically recorded all of his conversations with his advisors. Nixon refused to release them, claiming they were protected under executive privilege. Nixon eventually released some of the tapes, but portions of them had been erased. Finally, another special prosecutor asked the United States Supreme Court to compel Nixon to release all of the tapes in their entirety.

In June 1972, five men armed with cameras and bugging equipment were arrested inside the Democratic National Committee's offices in the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. Police soon discovered that the burglars worked, directly or indirectly, for the Committee to Re-Elect the President. President Nixon and leaders of his campaign denied any connection with the incident. They were convicted of burglary, along with E. Howard Hunt, Jr., a former Nixon aide, and G. Gordon Liddy, a lawyer for the Committee to Re-elect the President.

Supreme court said that only those presidential conversations that are similar to performing the job of the office of president are confidential and are covered or protected from judicial orders of disclosure.

The court wanted nixon to send in the tapes that he rocorded.

President Nixon was likely to face impeachment, but before this could happen the resigned on august 9, 1974.

Our opinion of this case was the Nixon did a bad thin of taping other peoples conversations. But we also think that the court didn’t have no right to get Nixon to send in the tapes.
