Richard Nixon

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.

Richard Nixon is the only president of the U.S.A to resign and not complete his term as president.

Nixon began as soon as he took office in '69. Finished most of the ground troops by '72, but left the air power until '73. But Nixon himself was removed from office in '73/'74 (Watergate), so Ford had to deal with any remaining US Military Forces in Vietnam. Ford had to deal with the fall of Saigon in April 1975.

President Nixon's solution to getting the United States out of the war was his policy called 'Vietnamization.' Under this policy, the United States would begin training and supplying the South Vietnamese army and building up their forces, so the United States could pull out and leave the South strong enough to fight the North on its own. This eventually led to the complete pull out of American troops in 1973.

There was no problems on Samuel de Champlain trips.

Richard M. Nixon was the President implictated in the Watergate Scandal.

Richard Nixon promised the nation 'peace with honor' in Vietnam. He increased the size of the war considerably by (completely illegal) bombing in Cambodia without the approval of Congress. He approved large-scale bombing raids against the major cities of North Vietnam. His Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, reached a peace deal with the leaders of North Vietnam and America troops were pulled out of Southeast Asia.

About 25,000 American servicemen and women were killed in Vietnam and Cambodia during the Nixon years.

Nixon negotiated the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) that would slow the increase in the number of ballistic missiles in the arsenals of the US and USSR. It was signed by President Ford in 1974 and Salt II by Jimmy Carter in 1979.

SALT was later superceded by START under President Reagan, which sought to actively decrease the strategic weapons on both sides. START I and START II were signed by President George H. Bush.

What led factors led to President Nixon's victory?

1959/7/27 but as a vice president

The revelation of the White House system for taping conversations uncovered a "smoking gun".

One of the tapes confirmed that the President himself had knowledge of the cover-up and actively worked to keep it hidden.

Nixon's only option, to avoid impeachment, was to resign the Presidency.

Richard M. Nixon, on the verge of impeachment as a result of the Watergate Scandal , became the first US President to resign from office on August 9, 1974. (The Watergate scandal began on June 17, 1972.)

Upon Richard Nixon's arrival in 1969 the Vietnam War had already spanned 10 years, entailing tens of thousands of American casualties and had grown most unpopular amognst the American population. Nixon's predessesors Lyndon B Johnson and John F Kennedy had failed to reduce the Vietnam War; primarily because of poor Soviet relations and the ever increasing Cold War. The year prior to Nixon's appointment America saw massive inserection namely through student protest and revolt. A apt example of this is the burning of conscription cards and prevelent immigration of men to Canada in order to evade being sent to Vietnam. Thus, Richard Nixon was in a position that demanded the withdrawl of troops from Vietnam, sequentially resulting in the fall of Saigon to Ho Chi Mhin's communist movement.

Yes. President Nixon was impeached. However, we first must define impeachment. Impeachment is the trial that Nixon went through. He was found guilty (obviously guilty) and was therefore impeached. After he was found guilty there were discussions on whether to "fire" him from his job as president but Nixon quit before anything could happen. He therefore was able to keep the benefits that any former president would have and (sort of but not really) save face.
