President Nixon: Toughing it Out with the LawWilliam W. Van AlstyneWilliam & Mary Law School December 9, 1973 American Bar Association Journal, Vol. 59, No. 12, 1973 William & Mary Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 09-188 Abstract: This paper examines President Nixon's handling of the Watergate scandal, arguing that Nixon's stance of "toughing it out with the law" was a common ploy used during his administration to extend the breadth of the issue in question. This expansion deflected attention away from the issue of the Constitutional limits on a president's power and was used to justify a broad spectrum of powers Nixon exercised during his presidency.
