The portraits of the former president had been displayed in Parliament's foreign affairs committee room in Oslo, but now will be moved to "a more insignificant place," the BBC reported.

The Republican president resigned in August 1974 as he faced almost certain impeachment for his role in the Watergate coverup. "I can accept total artistic freedom," said former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjoern Jagland, who currently heads the foreign affairs committee. "But I don't think that the meeting room of the foreign affairs committee is the most appropriate place to exhibit this kind of expression in respect to the former head of state and politician."
