angered many american voters.
President Gerald Ford granted a full pardon to Richard Nixon in 1974 to move past the Watergate scandal. This decision was deeply unpopular with a large portion of American voters, who felt Nixon should face legal consequences for his role in the scandal. The pardon did not create widespread support for Ford, did not benefit Republicans (Ford lost the 1976 election in part due to this), and Congress did not pursue impeachment over the pardon.
