Strengths: M01 + M12 Score 9 — institutional restraint during Watergate transition + September 8, 1974 Nixon pardon (controversial but framed as healing-the-nation rationale; cost Ford 1976 election + M07 trade-off); M03 + M05 career-long civility tone. Drag: M07 Score 6 — Nixon pardon decision contested as accountability-failure.
