President Nixon was a part of Watergate, a political scandal where five men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Their intention was to steal information and place wire taps in the phones, but they were caught by Frank Willis, a security guard on duty, and arrested. As a result of this scandal, Nixon faced impeachment but instead resigned.

The gesture associated with victory made famous by Richard Nixon is commonly known as the "Nixon V-sign" or the "Nixon Victory Sign."

While there were two planned attempts to assassinate him (one by Arthur Bremer in 1972 and one by Samuel Byck in 1974), President Nixon did not get shot.
