Who was the only US President to resign?
Richard Nixon was the only U.S. president to resign from office.
Nixon served as the 37th president of the United States from 1969 to 1974, but he resigned on August 8, 1974, in the midst of the Watergate scandal.
The scandal involved a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., and the subsequent cover-up of the administration's involvement in the break-in.
Facing impeachment and removal from office, Nixon chose to resign, making him the first and only U.S. president to do so.
