In May 1974, the House Judiciary Committee began formal impeachment hearings against Nixon. On July 27 of that year, the first article of impeachment against the president was passed.

He resigned as President on August 8,1974, before the impeachment made it to trial at the Senate. In doing so, he became the first US President to resign from office before being impeached.
