Nixon didn't have to resign for cheating on an election, an election that he won by the LARGEST MARGIN in US history, by the way.
He was forced to resign, by Republican senators, no less, because he had engaged in a cover-up of a 'dirty tricks' campaign by underlings in his campaign. It is from Watergate that the phrase was coined, "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up'.
The 'crimes' were so inconsequential, as to be silly. Nixon would have been better off if he had just left the bunch to hang in the wind, but he didn't, and the rest is history.
