The six best things he ever did was to resign, resign, resign, resign, resign, and resign in disgrace. He was the biggest Presidential crook of all time tied with that dumb *** Hoover, and was supported throughout his entire political career by Prescott Bush, the father and grandfather of both Bush Presidents, BTW. Prescott Bush was fined and his funds confiscated when he collaborated with the Nazis before and during WW2. What patriots they were. Geez. Where's JFK when you need him?

Occupation?
Important things that happen when he was in office?

I like to think about the good things.So to me he did good things.I bet u don`t like him,but some men and wemen do.
Was he a good friend a dad or a brother?Uncle?Thats what counts.Not the bad or the good.Just him.

Strong eco-legacy

When most people think of President Richard Nixon, the term "environmentalist" isn't the word that immediately leaps to mind. The 37th president who resigned from office in 1973 after the Watergate scandal, left a surprisingly strong environmental legacy, giving our nation new legislation governing protection of the air, water and wilderness.
 
His motives may have been purely political (he once said environmentalists wanted to live like "a bunch of damned animals"), but his administration did a lot of good for nature. Here are six great things Richard Nixon did for the environment. (Text: Shea Gunther)
