Richard Nixon

He approved a plan to organize the Plumbers.

Initially he financed his campaign with his poker winnings that he had saved from the Navy. Later, as the polls showed him closing the gap with opponent Jerry Voorhees he started receiving contributions from supporters. Finally when it appeared the he had a chance of winning Nixon received some limited financial support from the Republican party.

Nixon opened diplomatic relations with China. He also found a resolution to the Vietnam war that he inhereted from the previous administration. Nixon is also noted for starting a policy of dis-armament with the USSR. He is most remembered for his foreign policy triumphs, where as his domestic policy will allways be tainted by Watergate.

Lyndon Johnson taped as many conversations as possible so that he could document as much of his presidency as possible. He was concerned with his own legacy after stepping in as President after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Nixon told Ehrlichman to find out whether Judge Byrne would be interested in a possible appointment as FBI director.

The principle that utter morons cannot take office

Richard M. Nixon was born in the family's home in Yorba Linda, Califonia on January 9, 1913. The small house still stands on the grounds of the Nixon Presidential Library.

In the summer of 1974 Richard Nixon faced mounting pressure because of the continuing discoveries of the Watergate scandal. His approval rating reached an all time low of 23%. Finally on August 9th, 1974 Richard Nixon resigned in order to avoid facing impeachment by the Congress.

Yes, he resigned the Presidency on August 9, 1974. Under investigation by the US House for illegal campaign activities, he resigned and was succeeded by his Vice President, Gerald Ford. Ford had only become Vice President in December, 1973, after Vice President Spiro T. Agnew had also resigned, for an entirely unrelated reason.

Nixon was facing impeachment and likely conviction on charges stemming from the Watergate break-in and its cover-up, so he chose instead to resign.

yes

No, Richard Nixon is not on any U.S coin ... hope this helps:)

He resigned the office of vice president of the United States

Spiro Agnew was infamous for being corrupt. He was the only vice president to resign his office because of criminal charges such as: Bribery, Tax Fraud, Extortion and conspiracy. He was also the first Greek American to become Vice President. When Agnew resigned, he was replaced by Gerald Ford, who would then become the President of the United States when Richard Nixon resigned. Gerald Ford is the only United States President who was not elected by voters for the Office of President or Vice President.

Edward "Ed" Nixon was Richard Nixon's youngest brother. Regarding the resignation of his brother he said... his brother did not resign "in disgrace" but "resigned in honor. It was a disappointment to him because his missions were cut short."

Richard Nixon was elected to the Presidency in 1968, beating Hubert Humphrey. He served his full term and was re-elected in 1972 beating Edmund Muskie. Although his second term wasn't supposed to end until January 20th 1976, he resigned August 9th, 1974 to avoid impeachment over the Watergate Scandal.

They were found to be incomplete.

Gerald Ford is a/an Politician,lawyer

Richard Nixon resigned as US President on 9 August 1974 because he was assured the Senate would impeach him at trial.

He was never elected by the American voters to begin with, was he? The Electoral College voted him in. So this makes me wonder, what's so great about Americans having the right to vote?

Richard Nixon has two Secretarys of State. William P. Rogers served from 1969 until 1973. Henry Kissinger was appointed and served from 1973 until Nixon's resignation in 1974

The burglary of the Watergate building was investigated by Washington Post journalists Woodward and Berstein.The story was eventually traced back to the White House and Nixon was forced to accept responsibility.

The state where he was born and grown up - California.

The Democrats wanted to hold a circus trial that would have paralyzed the government for maybe two years, embarrass the Republicans and hurt the US in world opinion. Ford did not want to see that. Also, he believed that Nixon had already been punished severely by having to resign in shame. Maybe, also, he felt he owed Nixon something, since Nixon appointed him Vice-President and then resigned to make him President.

Yes ,Nixon believed that the Govt had a significant role to play in having the country's wealth be fairly distributed and was a firm believer in Govt programs that benefited society as a whole like universal medical coverage paid by govt.

Richard Nixon improved relations with China.
