President Nixon lied when he stated quite categorically that he had no involvement in the break-in at the Watergate complex. Ironically, Nixon used to tape telephone conversations, so that is what did for him.
<span>While the allegations were being investigated, Nixon became like a lame duck, which meant that he lost all credibility. As legal matters take their time, the "Commander-in-chief" was under the cloud of suspicion, meaning that he could not function as President.</span>

Do you believe that congressional members should be elected by popular vote? Why or why not?

eduard

Answer:

Not sure what you need to include in your answer but i will give my opinion.

Explanation:

In my opinion congressional members should be elected based on the popular vote, if a member is more popular and prefered than another member then they should be the one elected.

For example in the presidental election there is a system called electorial college, bigger states have bigger numbers to win. In the election they must have 170 points to win. This is an unfair advantage because if a canadidate has only had a small percentage more votes than the other popular canadidate then that's unfair and the canadidate who is not popular gets ahead even by a small margin of votes.

I'm assuming this is opinion based but hope it helps.
