Lithium cobalt oxide consists of layers of lithium (show here as purple spheres) that lie between slabs formed by cobalt and oxygen atoms (shown here as connected red and blue spheres). In a lithium-ion battery, the lithium ion is the cation that travels from anode to cathode. Lithium (Li) is easily ionized to form Li+ plus one electron. The electrolyte is typically a combination of lithium salts, such as LiPF6, LiBF4, or LiClO4, in an organic solvent, such as ether.
Such a slight deciding factor was impossible in United States v Nixon. Due to the severity of the case and its impact on national government, the Supreme Court wished to produce a consensus opinion, thereby showing their own authority and relieving some of the tension and uncertainty among the American people.
In U.S. vs. Nixon' (418 US 683 (1974)), America's citizens were assured that the president could not ignore the law, and that he was as liable for any criminal action he committed as much as the ordinary citizen.
