Historians call Richard Nixon’s presidency the “Imperial Presidency.” Why?

sounds a bit like a homework question....nixon's political philosophy was to dig up dirt on his enemies, through the fbi, the IRS, the justice department, and nixon felt---much like boy george---his regime was "above the law" and anything nixon did HAD to be legal. You'll have to delve a bit deeper for your answer (try google), but at least you have a start. Hope you get an A.
