Article 3 of Nixon's impeachment was obstruction of Congress, refusing to obey defined congressional subpoenas, pleading imaginary privilege, and obviously that's what The President has been doing.

Just another instance of obstruction of Congress and that's what Article 3 of the Richard Nixon impeachment was.
