5 0

Based on the tapes from the oval office, Richard Nixon felt that because he was president that he was above the law. This meant that the normal laws of the Untied States did not necessarily apply to him.

However, this was not the reality of the situation. In the Supreme Court case Nixon vs. United States, the Supreme Court ruled overwhelmingly that Nixon was not above the law and had to hand over the tapes to the court. This ultimately resulted in the resignation of Nixon.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

A. a president is more likely to appoint judges who would agree with him ideologically.

The Senate will block such nominations to ensure that judges who are appointed judge with justice and not under any influence from any political power.
