    Answer: Nixon was pardoned by his replacement President Gerald Ford on September 8, 1974 - exactly one month after Nixon had resigned. Thus he did not go to jail.

    Explanation: Gerald Ford, who had been Nixon's Vice President, issued a Presidential proclamation giving Richard Nixon a "full, free and absolute pardon," stating that the country had gone through enough turmoil with this scandal for over two years and it was time to move forward.
