A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a representative and senator from California and was the 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His five years in the White House saw reduction of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, dรฉtente with the Soviet Union and China, the first crewed Moon landings, and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nixon's second term ended early, when he became the only president to resign from office, as a result of the Watergate scandal.
Nixon was born into a poor family of Quakers in a small town in Southern California. He graduated from Duke Law School in 1937, practiced law in California, and then moved with his wife Pat to Washington in 1942 to work for the federal government. After active duty in the Naval Reserve during World War II, he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946. His work on the Alger Hiss case established his reputation as a leading anti-Communist, which elevated him to national prominence, and in 1950, he was elected to the Senate. Nixon was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican Party's presidential nominee in the 1952 election, and served for eight years as the vice president. He ran for president in 1960, narrowly lost to John F. Kennedy, then failed again in a 1962 race for governor of California, after which it was widely believed that his political career was over. However, in 1968, he made another run for the presidency and was elected, defeating Hubert Humphrey by less than one percentage point in the popular vote, as well as defeating third party candidate George Wallace.
Nixon ended American involvement in Vietnam combat in 1973 and the military draft in the same year. His visit to China in 1972 eventually led to diplomatic relations between the two nations, and he also then concluded the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union. In step with his conservative beliefs, his administration incrementally transferred power from the federal government to the states. Nixon's domestic policy saw him impose wage and price controls for 90 days, enforce desegregation of Southern schools, establish the Environmental Protection Agency, and begin the War on Cancer. Additionally, his administration pushed for the Controlled Substances Act and began the War on Drugs. He also presided over the Apollo 11 Moon landing, which signaled the end of the Space Race. He was re-elected with a historic electoral landslide in 1972 when he defeated George McGovern.
In his second term, Nixon ordered an airlift to resupply Israeli losses in the Yom Kippur War, a conflict which led to the oil crisis at home. From 1973, ongoing revelations leading from the Nixon administration's involvement in Watergate eroded his support in Congress and the country. Nixon and senior members of his administration were found to have weaponized government agencies against his enemies, among other wrongdoing. On August 9, 1974, facing almost certain impeachment and removal from office, Nixon resigned from the presidency. Afterwards, he was issued a pardon by his successor, Gerald Ford. During nearly 20 years of retirement, Nixon wrote his memoirs and nine other books. He undertook many foreign trips, rehabilitating his image into that of an elder statesman and leading expert on foreign affairs. He suffered a debilitating stroke on April 18, 1994, and died four days later at the age of 81. Surveys of historians and political scientists have ranked Nixon as a below-average president. However, evaluations of him have proven complex, with the successes of his presidency contrasted against the circumstances of his departure from office.

This was the first presidential inauguration to be broadcast in color on all three networks (JFKโs and LBJโs were in color...but only if you were watching on NBC).

Hi, I'm currently writing an essay about Nixon's relationship with the media, could you give me a source for this information?

This is the 12th of 100 speeches that I'm watching to make research on public speaking. Now my goal is to get through all the inaugural addresses of the American presidents and rank them according to my own criteria. Mostly, I just rely on my intuition without doing any critical analysis of the speeches. I don't have a lot of time to process all the information, so if I like how this or that president looks and sounds I rank him high. All political rhetoric, words, and phrases play the second role in my evaluation, though I pay attention to the content to figure out mental states that were predominant among folks of those times.
Nixon has a good melodic voice, a steady pace, and clearly articulates everything he says. I find pleasure in listening to him, even though most of what he says doesn't make any sense. Just beautiful words with no meaning to entertain the crowd. By the way, an old woman blowing her nose in the background at the moment when Nixon proclaims, "We see the hope of tomorrow in the youth of today," was marvelously surreal and made me experience unity with humanity through a burst of intense laughter.

Beautifully written speech.
Captain Sum Ting Wong
A very flawed and deeply insecure man, yes. But he was a good leader. He projected strength and confidence, and believed in America's progress .
Marc Schneider
And violated laws, killed millions of innocent people through bombing, interfered in peace negotiations that might have ended the Vietnam War much earlier strictly for partisan purposes, was involved in overthrowing freely elected governments. . If you call that projecting strength and confidence, well, I have to disagree. I agree he did some good things, but that's not the kind of leadership I think we need.
Ivellous Nightwrath
@Marc Schneider I'm not saying I disagree, but it is possible to project strength and confidence in doing wrong. Sometimes even more so in doing wrong can people be assured that what they are doing is right. The world is a cruel place, and Nixon was crushed in it for his wrongs.
Anthony Lucchese
President Nixon had several domestic and foreign policy achievements . Please people of America do not let Watergate overshadow this man.
