Nixon was not impeached. The device you typed out your nonsense on would have revealed this in five seconds. But I suppose the best kind of incorrect is confidently incorrect.

Nixon was on track to be impeached, convicted, and thrown in jail. The people were demanding it. His resignation was basically a "you can't fire me, I quit!" moment. Ford's pardon of Nixon was and remains controversial.
