Richard Milhous Nixon
(January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th
president of the United States
, serving from 1969 until 1974. A member of the
Republican Party
, Nixon previously served as the 36th
vice president
from 1953 to 1961, having risen to national prominence as a
representative
and
senator
from
California
. After five years in the White House that saw the conclusion to the U.S. involvement in the
Vietnam War
,
détente
with the Soviet Union and China, and the establishment of the
Environmental Protection Agency
, he became the only president to resign from the office.
Nixon was born into a poor family in a small town in
Southern California
. He graduated from
Duke University School of Law
in 1937 and returned to California to practice law. He and his wife
Pat
moved to Washington in 1942 to work for the federal government. He served on active duty in the Navy Reserve during World War II. He was elected to the House of Representatives in
1946
. His pursuit of the
Hiss Case
established his reputation as a leading anti-Communist which elevated him to national prominence. In
1950
, he was elected to the Senate. He was the running mate of
Dwight D. Eisenhower
, the Republican Party's presidential nominee in the
1952 election
, subsequently serving for eight years as the vice president. He unsuccessfully ran for president in
1960
, narrowly losing to
John F. Kennedy
. Nixon then lost a race for governor of California to
Pat Brown
in
1962
. In
1968
, he ran for the presidency again and was elected, defeating
Hubert Humphrey
and
George Wallace
in a close election.
Nixon ended American involvement in the
war in Vietnam
in 1973, ending the military draft that same year.
Nixon's visit to China
in 1972 eventually led to
diplomatic relations between the two nations
, and he initiated
détente
and the
Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty
with the Soviet Union the same year. His administration generally transferred power from federal control to state control. He imposed wage and price controls for 90 days, enforced desegregation of Southern schools, established the
Environmental Protection Agency
, and began the
War on Cancer
. He also presided over the
Apollo 11
moon landing, which signaled the end of the moon race. He was re-elected in one of the largest electoral landslides in American history in
1972
when he defeated
George McGovern
.
In his second term, Nixon ordered
an airlift
to resupply Israeli losses in the
Yom Kippur War
, a war which led to the
oil crisis
at home. By late 1973, the
Watergate scandal
escalated, costing Nixon much of his political support. On August 9, 1974, facing almost certain
impeachment
and removal from office, he became the first American president to resign. After his resignation, he was issued
a controversial pardon
by his successor,
Gerald Ford
. In 20 years of retirement, Nixon wrote his memoirs and nine other books and undertook many foreign trips, rehabilitating his image into that of an elder statesman and leading expert on foreign affairs. He suffered a debilitating stroke on April 18, 1994, and
died four days later
at age 81.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
