As you know, the separation of church and state is not subject to discussion or alteration. Under our Constitution no church or religion can be supported by the U.S. Government. We maintain freedom of religion so that an American can either worship in the church of his choice or choose to go to no church at all.
Richard M. Nixon
I hereby resign this office of president of the United States.

And so tonightto you, the great silent majority of my fellow AmericansI ask for your support.
Richard M. Nixon
