Richard M. Nixon
Richard M. Nixon was known for being very skilled when it came to negotiating foreign affairs. Nixon was the 37th president and was in office for 1 term, from 1969 to 1974. Before becoming the 37th President, he was Vice President to President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953-1961. President Nixon got quite a lot done while in office, but is not higher on our list for the huge Watergate scandal he was involved in. Not only was Nixon responsible for desegregating the South, opening diplomatic relations with China, ending American involvement in Vietnam, signing the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the USSR, and bringing POW’s home, he also founded the Environmental Protection Agency, signed the anti-crime bill into law, and started the “War on Cancer”…what a mouthful!
