What were the accomplishments of Richard Nixon?

Answer 1

Although largely remembered and criticized for Watergate, Nixon was actually an amazing President that accomplished more than most during his administration. Nixon's accomplishments while in office included: largely ending segregated classes in the south, revenue sharing, ending the draft, new anticrime laws, started the process of ending the Cold War, recognized and fought against foreign oil price gouging, and implemented a broad environmental program (he is largely responsible for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). He was the only President to achieve a balanced national budget between 1961 and 1998. He instituted Equal OpportunityEmployment and Title IX.

Some of his most acclaimed achievements came in his quest for world stability. During visits in 1972 to Beijing and Moscow, he reduced tensions with China and the U.S.S.R. His summit meetings with Russian leader Leonid I. Brezhnev produced a treaty to limit strategic nuclear weapons. In January 1973, he announced an accord with North Viet Nam to end American involvement in Indochina. In 1974, his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, negotiated disengagement agreements between Israel and its opponents, Egypt and Syria. As he had promised, he appointed conservative Supreme Court justices William Rehnquist and Harry Blackmun. One of the most dramatic events of his first term occurred in 1969, when American astronauts made the first moon landing.

Richard M Nixon was the first president to nominate a Vice President under the 25th Amendment.

Some of Nixon's accomplishments included finally bringing the Vietnam War to an end, opening Communist China to the West, and seeing NASA land the first man on the moon.

His failures also included his misuse of the CIA and the FBI to monitor the activities of his political opponents.
