President Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. He is known for improving relations with China and the Soviet Union, ending American involvement in Vietnam, and establishing the Environmental Protection Agency. However, his presidency was marred by the Watergate scandal, a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and subsequent cover-up, which led to his resignation—the only U.S. president to do so. Nixon's legacy is complex, marked by significant foreign policy achievements and the scandal that eroded public trust in government.
