Most citizens were outraged.
Most people thought Nixon could be prosecuted for the Watergate crimes – until this summer, when #SCOTUS ruled in Trump v. United States that presidents had immunity.
Some historians are looking back and seeing the Nixon pardon in a new light:

Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States would have given Nixon immunity for Watergate crimes — but 50 years ago he needed a presidential pardon to avoid prison
President Gerald Ford’s pardon of former President Richard Nixon 50 years ago is seen as a damaging precedent establishing presidential impunity. Now, the Supreme Court has affirmed that impunity.The Conversation

It's not enough to have #HarrisWalz in the White House.
It's also extremely important to have both the Senate and the House on a Democratic majorety ! Just a one vote majority caused havoc for #Biden 's second term.
So if you want something done on price gouging, housing or things like that vote Blue.
And don't get me started on immigration, you know who killed THAT bill !

The 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act came and went with little fanfare.
But perhaps that’s no surprise. The legislation was signed into law with little enthusiasm from Native Americans; after all, American citizenship was not an aspiration for the first peoples of the United States.
The act was mainly used as a coercive tool to encourage assimilation.
