3 Revise for GCSE History: A Divided Union? The USA, What caused the Watergate Scandal? 1972 Burglars were caught in the Democrat’s election HQ at the Watergate Complex, bugging phones and photographing documents. They were members of CREEP (Committee to Re-elect the President). Nixon was probably not involved. Two “Washington Post” reporters, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward uncovered the link to CREEP. The FBI became involved and discovered the dirty tricks used by CREEP. Nixon tried to cover up his knowledge of the events. “There can be no whitewash at the White House”. Nixon had taped all conversations in the Oval Office. Eventually forced to hand over the heavily edited tapes. They contained foul language and ethnic insults. He resigned when he faced impeachment for lying. Nixon is the only President to have resigned. He was later pardoned by Gerald Ford.

4 Revise for GCSE History: A Divided Union? The USA, What effects did the Scandal have? Americans lost confidence in the President and the government. Presidential power reduced. The War Powers Act, 1973: President had to consult with Congress before sending troops into a prolonged action. The Election Campaign Act, 1974: set limits on campaign contributions. The Privacy Act, 1974: Citizens could have access to any files that the government held about them. The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act, 1974: The President could not use government money for his own purposes.
