Richard Nixon

Richard M Nixon.

You're obviously a Paul & Young Ron listener...that's NOT the question. The question is "What do Jefferson and Nixon have in common?" The words "former president" are not used. It's YOU CAN'T WIN...think outside the box..they wouldn't have something as boring and mundane as questions about Presidents. I heard one guy answer "they both played violin." Anyone who really listens to the show KNOWS that's not the kind of answer they're looking for.

I'm doing my research on All in the Family and The Jeffersons. And I bet I'm on the right track.

Nelson Rockefeller was suggested to Richard Nixon on 2 separate occassions during his presidency to run as his vice president.

Firstly during Nixons nomination to run for party leadership and secondly following Spiro Agnew's resignation.

On both occassions Nixon rejected the idea. It is often believed that Nixon had personal reasons for Rockefeller's rejection.

Nelson Rockefeller was however vice president to the following president (Gerald Ford).

Nelson Rockefeller however was never president and wasn't chosen again for vice presidency.

Richard Nixon was a member of the Republican Party.

Nixon called the non-shouters and the non-demonstrators as the Silent Majority. This was after nearly a decade of loud protests, demonstrations, sit-in, and violent rallies with the Civil Rights Movement and protests over the Vietnam War. So though the words sound lame today, his comment addressed a huge part of US citizens who were not marching the streets or sitting to block access to public buildings.

Richard M. Nixon was the first US President to visit China. He was also the first to visit Russia.

Richard Nixon graduated from Whittier College in California and then won a scholarship to Duke University where he studied for a law degree. He opened his own law firm after graduating in 1937. He worked for the office of strategic services for a few months in 1939 and then served as a naval officer until 1946. He was elected Congressman in 1946, US Senator in 1950, and Vice President in 1952. Nixon ran unsuccessfully for the Presidency in 1960 and then tried, again unsuccessfully, to be elected Governor of California in 1962. He then joined a law firm in New York until winning the presidency in 1968.

Richard Rive died in 1989.

Thelma Catherine "Pat" Ryan Nixon died in June 1993 and is buried in Yorba Linda, California at the Nixon Birthplace and Museum.

Nixon's policy of détente, aimed at easing tensions with the Soviet Union and improving relations with China, can be seen as both good and bad for the U.S. On one hand, it led to significant arms control agreements like the SALT I treaty and opened diplomatic channels that reduced the risk of nuclear conflict. On the other hand, critics argue it allowed the Soviet Union to strengthen its position globally while the U.S. increasingly found itself entangled in conflicts like Vietnam. Overall, the effectiveness of détente can be viewed as a complex legacy with both successes and drawbacks.

Nixon was ambitious. Once he was nominated for vice-president, I'm sure he began to think about being President. I am not aware that any particular persons influenced him to run.

Henry Kissinger was National Security Adviser for Richard Nixon and for Gerald Ford. He served in that position from 20 January 1969 through 3 November 1975.

He was succeeded by Brent Scowcroft.

No President has ever been removed from office, but Nixon probably would have been (by impeachment) had he not resigned in 1974 and Clinton had they accused him guilty

Impeachment and removal from office are two different things. Impeachment is done by the House of Representatives voting and having 218/434 total votes. Once this is done you can say the president is impeached. The next step is removal from office. This is done by a Senate vote and you need 67/100. Once this is done you can say the president has been removed. Andrew Johnson was the first to be impeached and so was Clinton. Neither one of them were removed from office. Nixon resigned before the impeachment process.

Thelma Catherine Ryan (March 16, 1912 - June 22, 1993) but she was known to all as Patricia or simply Pat, She adopted this name in part because she was born the eve before St. Patricks day and partly because she did not like her given name, "Thelma".

Kennedy defeated Nixon in the Presidential election of 1960.

He won the election, sweeping the South

The concept of Doves and Hawks didn't exist when there were MODERATE republicans. Since the parties have become so polarized and unwilling to compromise, our country has essentially gone to heck in a hand basket.

Nixon's plan for Vietnamization was to slowly replace the American troops fighting in Vietnam with Vietnam troops. Slowly bringing the Americans out of the war and helping the Vietnamese people have control over the conflict.

first Benjamin Harrison in 1889, then William McKinley in 1897.

Nixon was elected to his first term in 1968, and he was reelected to his second term in 1972. However, he did not serve out his full second term. He resigned on August 9, 1974. (He was also elected as vice-president in 1952 and 1956 under Eisenhower.)

Incumbent President Richard Nixon won reelection in the 1972 presidential election defeating George McGovern. In the 1972 presidential election Richard Nixon received 520 electoral votes and George McGovern received 17 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Nixon 47,169,911 and McGovern 29,170,383.
