Richard Nixon

i knew and i told

It is true. Also, your mom.

Replacement of U.S. troops with south Vietnamese soldiers

In the information that i have read the only goal that he made was water gate and that is not a very good goal. People that i have read peices from do not like him very much!

-Whoever posted the above two sentences needs to better educate themself and maybe not be as illiterate. Among his goals were to produce a more conservative Supreme Court, to remove soldiers from Vietnam, and to improve relations with the Soviet Union and China.

There were, as now, 50 stars on the flag. The last states to join the union were Alaska and Hawaii in 1959. Richard Nixon was in office from 1969 to 1974

Richard Nixon sent a resignation letter to Secretary of State Kissinger.

I do not know if he sent more than one letter. He announced to the nation in a speech the day before that he planned to resign at noon the next day and the vice-president was ready to be sworn in at that time.

An exchange of prisoners of war with North Vietnam, was a part of President Nixon ' plan of peace with honor

i think Nixon supported the Family Assistance Plan

The special prosecutor during the Watergate trial asked President Nixon to release secret audiotapes. Shortly thereafter, the president had the prosecutor fired.

They were sworn enemies to the U.S because they were two communist giants

Herbert W. Kalmbach was Nixon's personal , involved in the Watergate affair. His other convicted counselors were John Erlichman , John Dean and Charles Colson.

Nixon had been elected on a promise to Vietnamize the war, meaning more fighting would be turned over to the South Vietnamese army, and to start bringing home American troops. When the President ordered US troops into Cambodia and ordered more bombings, the result was a tremendous uproar at home with more marches and demonstrations. Congress reacted to the antiwar feeling and repealed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which gave the President the authority to send troops and fight the war in Vietnam. The United States did not lose the Vietnam War. Although some may argue that by pulling out of South Vietnam we did just that.

He resigned on October 10, 1973, as a result of criminal investigations dating from his term as the Governor of Maryland (January, 1967 - January, 1969). He later pled "no contest" to bribery charges and was disbarred.

After being forced to resign as Vice President, his party did not consider him to be a viable candidate for President.

Nixon ordered US troops to invade Cambodia on 01 May 1970. They penetrated approximately 21 miles and stayed approximately 60 days.

The end of the watergatre scandal was when the Supreme Court asked for, "the tapes," which had an 18.5 minute gap. However, the President refused to give them up. The House of Representatives then voted three days later to impeach President Nixon. He resigned and Gerald Ford took over the presidency. Nixon was the only "Watergate conspirator" to not serve any jail time. Also, he was the only president in the history of the United States to resign from the presidency.

He claimed executive privilege to protect communications "between high Government officials and those who advise and assist them" in carrying out their duties.

August 8,l974, this was over two years AFTER the Watergate incident break-in on June l7,l972, My l6Th birthday.

He announced it August 8, 1974, but the resignation went into effect at noon August 9, 1974.

He faced an untrusting public. That's the era that people starting not trusting politicians. But the public for the most part saw him as a relief from Nixon and his corruption. He was a very trusted figure. So Watergate wasn't really a huge problem for him

On 01 May 1970 he sent in US Ground Forces into the neutral country of Cambodia, to destroy COSVN (enemy Central Office S. Vietnam) & enemy supplies. This action resulted in the Kent State Shooting in Ohio 04 May 1970. In 1971, he ordered the invasion of Laos, Operation Lam Son 719 (1971, highway (route) 9), to further disrupt enemy troops & supplies. This action, was a near (close call) disaster for allied forces. President Nixon, believed in former US Air Force, Chief of Staff (1961-1965), General Curtis E. Lemay's word's, when referring to North Vietnam, in 1965; "...They've got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression, or WE'RE GOING TO BOMB THEM BACK INTO THE STONE AGE!" (With the B-52 Stratofortress in mind). President Nixon's "Big Stick" was his B-52's. In 1972, he employed them, with orders for a "maximum effort", during the aerial campaigns designated Linebacker & Linebacker II. Of which the Linebacker II air campaign has been dubbed the "Christmas Bombings" of 1972, by historians.

In 1974, a vote to impeach Richard Nixon for the Watergate scandal looked like it would be successful. Nixon resigned, making Gerald Ford the President of the United States. Ford then issued a blanket pardon for Nixon, which prevented a likely criminal indictment of Nixon.

As someone from, and still living, in Ohio I was atending the University of Akron at the time. Everything that has been published since then states it was not the war protest that led to the shooting of the students. It was the push by the Kent police of rowdy bar patrons onto the KSU campus, and the riot that occurred , that was the cause of the national guard being there and the shootings. Actually, some of the guardsmen were KSU and UA students. I knew one who was there.

The shootings occurred during class changes and many of the people were students trying to get from one class to another. My cousin was on the KSU campus that day and would have been in the middle of the shootings but for the fact she stopped to talk to her teacher after class.

The Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 allowed for the funding of education across the United States while still letting the states choose their own lessons and curriculum. It was passed by L.B. Johnson so that all children could get a decent education and attend college if they chose to.

Gerald Ford was the House Minority leader and when Nixon asked the Speaker of the House who would be a suitable replacement for the newly resigned Spiro Agnew, only one name was given to him. Gerald Ford was confirmed overwhelmingly by the House then the Senate. Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. became the first VP selected under the recently adopted 25th Amendment.

The tapes were incomplete.

No one "forced" Nixon to resign. He chose to quit to avoid impeachment on criminal charges and possible incarceration. Given the mood of the country at the time if he had stayed in office there is a strong possibility that he would have been legally removed from office and could have been jailed for his crimes.
