After his election in 1968, President Richard Nixon asked Robert Morgenthau, the US
Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to resign. Morgenthau refused to leave
voluntarily, saying it degraded the office to treat it as a patronage position.
Nixon’s move precipitated a political crisis. The president named a replacement. Powerful
