  kevin86: It's funny! Now Nixon is remembered for opening China as much as his faux pas in the white house.

The game is not very noteworthy-white will not only be impeached,but also a rook down-so Nixon resigned.LOL

Jul-21-06   Kreifi: So the game lasted 5 yers. :P
Master of the puns, master.

  dakgootje: "To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President I must put the interests of America first. America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad."

  YouRang: After this game, I understand that he took up checkers.
Aug-03-06   dbquintillion: oh dammit YouRang I was all set to make the checkers joke. I scrolled all the way through the comments and no one had made it until the very last one. Guess I've got to be faster.
