Richard Nixon lost the presidential election of 1959 to John F. Kennedy then was elected President in 1969. He was in that office from 1969 to 1974, having resigned over the Watergate scandal.

Kennedy won election of 1960, was assassinated in 1963. Eisenhower won in 1952 and 1956, never lost. Ford lost in 1976, his only time nominated. Richard Nixon is the answer. He lost to Kennedy in 1960, ran again in 1968 when he won. He was re-elected in 1972, but became the first president to resign from office when he did so on August 9, 1974.

Richard Nixon.
Kennedy and Eisenhower both won their first presidential campaigns. Gerald Ford was appointed to replace Spiro Agnew as Vice-President under Nixon, then lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter.

these are the kind of moronic questions you have to answer to get through school? Man, I am so glad I'm not in your shoes. It's no wonder kids take guns to school.
