Best Answer

This term came from the breakin of the Watergate hotel that was used as site for the Democratic party during Nixon presidency.Subsequent history has proven that breakin with those employed in the Republican party of Richard Nixon.The people were jailed and Nixon was impeached as a direct result of that which was confirmed in the infamous Nixon Whitehouse tapes.

Improvement: NO. That is NOT true. Nixon was NOT impeached, you dumb people. He RESIGNED. God.
