House Judiciary Committee voted to impeach President Nixon

On July 27, 1974, the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee voted 27-11 to adopt the first of the Articles of Impeachment against President Richard Nixon, charging him with obstruction of justice in connection with the Watergate scandal. Nixon resigned before impeachment proceedings could begin, and was later pardoned by his successor, President Gerald Ford.
