Notes:

37th President of the United States.

He was the 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 to 197 4 . He was a member of the Republican Party who previously served as a re pr esentative and senator from California and was the 36th vice presiden t fr om 1953 to 1961. His five years in the White House saw the end of U. S. in volvement in the Vietnam War, détente with the Soviet Union and Chi na, th e first manned Moon landings, and the establishment of the Environ menta l Protection Agency. Nixon's second term ended early, when he becam e th e only president to resign from office, following the Watergate scan dal.

Nixon was born into a poor family of Quakers in a small town in Southe r n California. He graduated from Duke Law School in 1937, practiced la w i n California, then moved with his wife Pat to Washington in 1942 to w or k for the federal government. After active duty in the Naval Reserve d uri ng World War II, he was elected to the House of Representatives in 19 46 . His work on the Alger Hiss Case established his reputation as a lead in g anti-Communist, which elevated him to national prominence, and in 19 50 , he was elected to the Senate. Nixon was the running mate of Dwight D . E isenhower, the Republican Party's presidential nominee in the 1952 el ecti on, and served for eight years as the vice president. He ran for pre siden t in 1960, narrowly lost to John F. Kennedy, then failed again i n a 196 2 race for governor of California. In 1968, he made another run f or the p residency and was elected, defeating Hubert Humphrey and Georg e Wallace i n a close contest.

Nixon ended American involvement in Vietnam in 1973, and with it, the mi l itary draft, that same year. His visit to China in 1972 eventually le d t o diplomatic relations between the two nations, and he also then conc lude d the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union. His admin istra tion incrementally transferred power from the federal government t o the s tates. He imposed wage and price controls for 90 days, enforced d esegrega tion of Southern schools, established the Environmental Protecti on Agency , and began the War on Cancer. He also presided over the Apoll o 11 Moon l anding, which signaled the end of the Space Race. He was re-e lected wit h a historic electoral landslide in 1972 when he defeated Geor ge McGovern .

In his second term, Nixon ordered an airlift to resupply Israeli losse s i n the Yom Kippur War, a war which led to the oil crisis at home. By l at e 1973, the Nixon administration’s involvement in the Watergate scanda l e scalated, costing him most of his political support. On August 9, 197 4, f acing almost certain impeachment and removal from office, he becam e the f irst American president to resign. Afterwards, he was issued a pa rdon b y his successor, Gerald Ford. In his almost 20 years of retirement , Nixo n wrote his memoirs and nine other books and undertook many foreig n trips , rehabilitating his image into that of an elder statesman and le ading ex pert on foreign affairs. He suffered a debilitating stroke on Ap ril 18, 1 994, and died four days later at age 81. Surveys of historian s and politi cal scientists have ranked Nixon as a below-average presiden t. Evaluation s of him have proven complex, as the successes of his presi dency have bee n contrasted with the circumstances of his departure fro m office.
