Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. He is known for his foreign policy achievements, including opening diplomatic relations with China and reducing Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union. However, his presidency was overshadowed by the Watergate scandal, which involved a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and subsequent cover-up efforts. Facing impeachment, Nixon resigned in 1974, making him the first U.S. president to do so. His legacy is complex, marked by both significant policy initiatives and deep political controversy.
