The Watergate scandal, which resulted in the resignation of a number of powerful individuals in the President's circle, also resulted in the resignation of a U.S. President after being faced with impeachment. When five burglars were apprehended at the Democratic Party Headquarters in 1972, no one could have predicted that it would set off a chain of events that would result in a major shakedown and the resignation of a president.
For democracy to work, a nation must be willing to uphold the rule of law.

I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
