Richard Nixon: “Yes, I certainly do.”

And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…

To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.
