During Richard Nixon's presidency, which lasted from 1969 to 1974, the Senate was controlled by the Democratic Party for most of that time. The Democrats held the majority in the Senate from 1969 until early 1973, after which the Republicans briefly gained control. However, by the end of Nixon's presidency, the Democrats regained control of the Senate.
Kerry, a leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, protested Pres. Nixon's beliefs. Kerry wanted the troops out faster.
There were two different leaders during that time. Nikita Khruschev was leader when Nixon became president in 1969. He died in 1971 and was succeeded by Leonid Brezhnev, who was there for the rest of Nixon's term.
