Watergate an exclusive apartment complex along the Potomac River in Washington , D.C., which became infamous as the site of the June 17, 1972, break-in of the offices of the Democratic Party by operatives apparently working for Republican President
Richard M. Nixon's reelection committee. Attempts by President Nixon and his staff to cover up their connection to the break-in led to Nixon's impeachment by the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on July 30, 1974. Before the impeachment trial could begin in the Senate, President Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974, and Vice President
Gerald R. Ford became President.
