淺析水門事件體現(xiàn)出的總統(tǒng)與憲法的關(guān)系

一、The Ridiculous Night is Just the Beginning

Although Nixon attempted to cover all the truth in order to avoid being punished，many members of Nixon administration were exposed step by step.Two years later the judicial committee had collected all the evidence related to impeach Nixon.Although Nixon owns large amounts of political skills，despising the constitution is all wet.Constitutional supremacy has become a rooted thought in everyones mind.Nixon spares no effort to exploit an advantage in order to escape being punished by constitution.The ridiculous night is just the start warning of reminding Nixon of the importance of obeying the constitution.

二、TheDifferencebetweenGovernmentand Administration

Administration is always attached to Clinton is completely different from the government.A difference in word reveals the political structure in American administration clearly.The unfamiliar word“administration”which means supervising and the executive branch in the dictionary describes a greater picture of what on earth the American president is.As is known to us all，the Legislative，the Executive and the Judiciary constitute the American government.It is not difficult to understand the undetectable difference which is the American president who is in charge of the Executive branch.

三、The Relaxing Retirement Life

Although as a president in his political career Nixon has made a lot of mistakes，some parts of his characters are worthy of being recognized.For instance，after his retirement Nixon frankly answers questions about the Watergate event.He confesses his mistakes and failure in his memoirs.Maybe some of them continue working in political circles，but making sightseeing tours is another excellent choice in this rich country with amazing landscape.We can tell the difference between China and America as well and hardly hear that some officials commit his own mistakes honestly other than the government proposes some serious punishment for those officials for corruption.
