What were some of Richard M. Nixon accomplishmensts while president?

Answer 1

Although it's hard for many to get past watergate, Nixon's administration was actually one of the most accomplished of the 20th century.

I'll keep comments posted to specific events regarding his presidency, rather than prior or post.

Nixon opened foreign relations with china, he took america off the gold standard with relatively no disruption, he instigated price freezes and foreign tax increases to promote domestic growth, he established the EPA (the first specific environmental agency in the US), he reduced tensions with Russia most notably through SALT (strategic arms limitations talks), he won one of the biggest landslide presidential results, he managed to get out of Vietnam with at least the thin appearance of having not lost the war and also secured the release of american POW's, although he was pro-desegregation he fought against forced busing (to manufacture racial balance in schools by forcing children to travel to schools upwards of 50 miles from where they lived) and perhaps his biggest accomplishment was achieving all this even with a democratic house and senate.

Answer 2

On the domestic scene, Nixon established a revenue-sharing program that restored a measure of balance to the State-Federal relationship. He set up the Council on Environmental Quality to give recognition to the problems of pollution and consumption. He ended the peace-time draft and helped to restore peace to the nation's campuses. He cut back on many of the wasteful programs of LBJ's "Great Society" that had been squandering the taxpayer's money.
