http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election%2C_1952\n\nnot much, it was a landslide\n\nTo placate the party's conservative wing, Eisenhower chose as his running mate Senator Richard Nixon of California, best known for his pursuit of Alger Hiss.

If he gets impeached, then yes, he's enough of a scumbag to pardon his gangsters.\n\nIt's exactly what Nixon did. Nixon's Vice President, Spiro T. Agnew, was arrested for tax evasion on bribes. Nixon appointed Gerald Ford a few months before Nixon was impeached, at which point Ford pardoned Nixon.

Gerald Ford was elected neither to the Presidency, nor the Vice Presidency.  He was appointed Vice President upon the resignation of Spiro Agnew, then became President when Nixon resigned.  He was defeated by Jimmy Carter in 1976 when he ran for his own term.\n\nOf course, you'll still have your leftist wags here who will say George W. Bush.  I suggest you take such answers for what they're worth.

Comparing this present Administration, to the Nixon Administration. I would think President Bush was leading in the race for corruption in our Country today.

I would challenge the "not hotly contested" - Carter started off with a lead, but it did get closer towards the end of the race. He only won by about 3 percentage points and it was also fairly close electorally.\n\nAs to the issues themselves, Watergate kind of overshadowed every election in both 1974 and 1976. Carter presented himself as an outsider, someone untainted by Washington politics who would clean up the system.\nFord basically played the experience card, arguing that Carter lacked the experience to lead the country.\nThe other major issues were economics, especially inflation and Ford's inability to control it (look up WIN buttons).\nAnd Ford did make a major faux pas about the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe during one of the debares.

Bush's edge was 2.5 percent, smaller than Wooddrow Wilson's pathetic 1916 margin of 3.2 percent. Bu$h, Cheney and all the cronies called it a mandate. Neocons on TV called it a mandate. In 1936 FDR had a mandate. In 1956 Eisenhower had a mandate, In 1964 Johnson had a mandate, 1972 Nixon had a mandate. In 1996 Clinton had a mandate, he beat Dole by 8.5 percent. the numbers you need are at www.secretaryofstate.gov.

Richard Nixon made mistakes but he was very good at foreign relations. Other presidents have gotten advice from him on how to handle different foreign talks.

"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."\n. . -- 25th Amendment, Section 2.\n\nThat has already happened, but not due to impeachment. Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon's Veep, was connected to crimes he committed while in state politics. If he had not resigned, he surely would have been impeached, so this is almost, but not quite, the same as your scenario.\n\nOf course, Nixon himself resigned later to prevent HIS OWN impeachment over the Watergate scandal. Thus, Gerald Ford became the only person ever to hold the office of President without facing a nationwide election.

I am a mixed mutt...Dad was a Nixon/Regan Republican all the way...Mom was a die-hard Dem, and HER parents were, back in the 1920-30's, card carrying Communist Party members in Detroit, MI during the birth of the labor union movement there.\n\nResult: Independent liberal...now and forever.

I think what you are saying is essentially true. However there have been 6 presidents since Nixon that could have helped or fixed the problem and nothing got done. Nixons move to allow the dollar to float has caused many problems with the economy. I do not remember his reasoning behind it but it was another bad decision by an repuglican.

The Wikipedia is a good place to start as it often has very good links to other sites.  In addition, check out the Nixon Library site and the Nixon Presidential archives\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon\nhttp://nixon.archives.gov/index.php\nhttp://www.nixonfoundation.org/

Cause:  Political greed and personal paranoia on behalf of President Nixon, (who has never been credited with ending the Vietnam war, and opening relations with china).\n\nEffect:  Overzealous prosecution for protecting his political friends for lying about a crime that was petty in nature.  It all ended when he was prosecuted by congress, and with dignity, resigned his elected office.

Frankly I was not aware of this till now. But I did some 1 hour research for you question and here is what I found out.\n\nKennedy used "Castro-Card" to defeat Nixon as the Cold War was in full force. But he was unaware that the CIA had all planned and was more than happy to have the hawkish Kennedy to get elected.\n\nApparently Kennedy developed cold feet and tried to avoid "US Involvement" and did some utterly stupid changes to the plan which nothing but doomed the invasion. Its the worst fiasco to hit the Kennedy Administration.\n\nHere are some links with more material for your essay. If possible buy/rent that book "Decision for Disaster: Betrayal at the Bay of Pigs ". You will blow your peers' essays with your explosive view points...\n\nAll the Best. Please do message me as how you did and what score it fetched to you..\n\n.:Fishie:.
