...deputy counsel to President Nixon. There he helped prepare a backdated deed and other papers in an attempt to support a tax deduction of $576,000 for the gift to the Government of Nixon's prepresi-dential papers. The deduction was later disallowed by IRS and declared invalid by Congress's Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation.

Both ideas are flawed because they would involve employing constitutional processes for purposes other than the ones for which they were intended. The approaches would thus abuse those processes and, if Nixon resisted, might well be found invalid by the courts...
