RICHARD NIXON

Richard Nixon was a politician from the 1940s to the 1970s, and was the 37th President of the United States from 1969 to 1974. His second term was marred by the Watergate scandal, and facing almost certain impeachment and removal from office, he became the first American president to resign (he was later pardoned for any crimes by President Ford). He was later the subject of the movies Nixon and more recently Frost/Nixon. Nixon passed away in 1994 at the age of 81.
