Question

The decision in U.S. v. Nixon shows that in the United States, the president is not above the law. True or false?

Answer 1

True. The decision in U.S. v. Nixon, a landmark case in 1974, affirmed that the president of the United States is not above the law. The Supreme Court ruled that President Richard Nixon had to comply with a subpoena for the Watergate tapes, thus establishing the principle that the president is subject to the law like any other citizen.
