Dwight D. Eisenhower signed Ohio into statehood in 1953?

Sort of.

On February 19, 1803, President Jefferson signed an act of Congress that approved Ohio's boundaries and constitution. However, Congress had never passed a resolution formally admitting Ohio as the 17th state. The current custom of Congress declaring an official date of statehood did not begin until 1812, with Louisiana's admission as the 18th state. Although no formal resolution of admission was required, when the oversight was discovered in 1953, Ohio congressman George H. Bender introduced a bill in Congress to admit Ohio to the Union retroactive to March 1, 1803. At a special session at the old state capital in Chillicothe, the Ohio state legislature approved a new petition for statehood that was delivered to Washington, D.C. on horseback. On August 7, 1953 (the year of Ohio's 150th anniversary), President Eisenhower signed an act that officially declared March 1, 1803 the date of Ohio's admittance into the Union

Were Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon Democrats?

Eisenhower and Nixon were both elected as Republicans.

Until he ran for president, Eisenhower avoided any political affiliation. While he was still in the Army, several people suggested to Eisenhower that he should run for public office once his military career was over - in fact, in 1947 Harry Truman offered to run with him on the Democratic presidential ticket in 1948 but Eisenhower turned him down. Some major figures in the Democratic party actually tried to swing their party's nomination in 1948 to Eisenhower but he emphatically refused to be part of it. Truman tried again in 1951 to get Ike to run for president as a Democrat. At that point Eisenhower finally voiced his disagreements with the Democratic party and declared himself and his family to be Republicans - and of course the Republicans promptly got busy talking him into running as their candidate.

Nixon was affiliated with the Republican party from his election in 1946 as the US Representative from the 12th Congressional District until his resignation as President of the USA.
