Alexander Haig resigned from the Reagan's administration in July 1982, leading to speculation as to his and Reagan's administration future. (History goes on to show that Ronald Reagan's administration flourished while Haig's did not).

While implicated in the Watergate scandal retained his position in the next three administrations – rising ever higher while his patrons fell.
