My Fellow Americans,
The Benghazi fiasco happened on my watch.
The IRS targeting of conservative groups, pro-Life groups, global warming skeptics and others happened on my watch.
The Department of Justice has bugged the telephone and other communication lines of the Associated Press, and that happened on my watch.
One of my predecessors, Mr. Nixon, resigned when confronted with the Watergate affair, where some hotel and meeting rooms belonging to the Democratic party were bugged. And then, when discovered, he attempted to cover it up.
That was a far lesser breach of the public trust than the three breaches I mentioned above.
I was tried, and found wanting.
Mr. Nixon recognized what a man of honor must do, and set the example that I now must follow.
Effective Monday I will resign as President of these United States. The Vice President, Joe Biden, will be your president for the remainder of my term.
Good night, and Godspeed.
