Question

Any info would be great. Its for school. Please provide the info where it was found.

Answer 1

"Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913–April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. He was the 36th Vice President of the United States in the administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961). Nixon is the only person elected twice to the offices of vice president and president. He is also the only President of the United States to have resigned from the office."

"Under President Nixon, the United States followed a foreign policy marked by détente with the Soviet Union and by the opening of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. His centrist domestic policies combined conservative rhetoric and liberal action in civil rights, environmental and economic initiatives. As a result of the Watergate scandal, Nixon resigned the presidency in the face of likely impeachment by the United States House of Representatives. His successor, Gerald Ford, issued a controversial pardon that cleared him of any wrong-doing."

"Richard M. Nixon"

"born Jan. 9, 1913, Yorba Linda, Calif., U.S."
"died April 22, 1994, New York, N.Y."

"37th president of the U.S. (1969–74)."

"He studied law at Duke University and practiced in California (1937–42). After serving in World War II, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives (1946). As a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, he received national attention for his hostile questioning of Alger Hiss. In 1950 he was elected to the Senate following a bitter campaign in which he unfairly portrayed his opponent as a communist sympathizer; the epithet “Tricky Dick” dates from this period. He won the vice presidency in 1952 as the running mate of Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower. During the campaign he delivered a nationally televised address, the “Checkers” speech (named for the dog he admitted receiving as a political gift), to rebut charges of financial misconduct. He and Eisenhower were reelected easily in 1956. As the Republican presidential candidate in 1960, he lost narrowly to John F. Kennedy. After failing to win the 1962 California gubernatorial race, he announced his retirement from politics and criticized the press, declaring that it would not “have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.” He moved to New York to practice law."

Answer 2

Richard Milhous Nixon was the only President to resign from office, on August 9, 1974.

President Nixon resigned after the Supreme Court ruled he did not have "executive privilege" over tapes made in the White House. The House Judiciary Comittee returned three articles of impeachment against him. He was not tried.

This is all over the Watergate scandal.

Nixon also permitted the overthrow of the elected president of Chile, allowing for Augusto Pinochet to take power and impose a brutal rule.

Nixon signed the Environmental Protection Act. He signed the ending of the draft in 1973, along with defunding the Vietnam War.

Answer 3

His friends called him "Tricky Dick." (Well, maybe they weren't exactly his friends.)

He was president from the late 1960s into the early 70s. He scaled down the U.S.'s involvement in Vietnam, finally arranging the withdrawal of American troops from an unpopular war. He butchered NASA, forcing the space agency to abandon its Saturn V rockets in favor of the space shuttle.

Oh, and he got busted for allowing a coverup of a break-in by Republican operatives at the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate Building in Washington, D.C. during the '72 presidential race (which he won by a landslide). Ultimately, he resigned in disgrace.

That's just off the top of my head from memory (as I am an old man). There's also a longish Wikipedia article that might be useful.

Answer 5

Your incorrect, Michael J is optimal. Eisenhower have been given us into Vietnam, different than it develop into before the French pulled out. We have been giving the French textile help and there have been united statespilots on the conflict of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. 37 U.S. pilots flew 682 sorties for the time of the conflict, 2 have been killed. Eisenhower then gave South Vietnam advisers and textile help while the rustic develop into divided in 1956. no one recalls this, Kennedy develop into making plans for pulling American involvement out of Vietnam yet did not get to end. Michael's different statements approximately Nixon are all suited.
