Richard Milhous Nixon fue el trigésimo séptimo presidente de los Estados Unidos, ocupando el cargo entre 1969 y 1974, año en el que se convirtió en el único presidente estadounidense en dimitir del cargo. Anteriormente, Nixon había sido miembro de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos y del Senado de Estados Unidos .

Nixon nació en Yorba Linda . Tras completar sus estudios de pregrado en Whittier College , se graduó en la Escuela de Derecho de la Universidad de Duke en Carolina del Norte y regresó a California para ejercer la abogacía. Se mudó a Washington D. C. para trabajar para el gobierno federal en 1942 junto a su mujer, Pat Nixon. En esta época, sirvió activamente en la Reserva Marina de Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nixon fue elegido a la Cámara de Representantes en 1946 y al Senado en 1950, donde se consolidó como líder anticomunista tras el papel clave que desempeñó en el caso de Alger Hiss. Fue el candidato a la Vicepresidencia de Estados Unidos en las elecciones de 1952 por el Partido Republicano. Nixon ejerció como Vicepresidente durante ocho años. Posteriormente, libró una campaña presidencial sin éxito 1960, perdiendo contra John F. Kennedy, y más tarde perdió las elecciones para gobernador de California de 1962. Nixon fue elegido Presidente en las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos de 1968, derrotando a Hubert Humphrey.

Nixon terminó con la intervención estadounidense en la guerra de Vietnam en 1973 y trajo a los prisioneros de guerra a suelo estadounidense, además de acabar con el servicio militar obligatorio. La visita de Nixon a China en 1972 estableció relaciones diplomáticas entre las dos naciones. Nixon inició el détente entre Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética, impulsando el Tratado sobre Misiles Antibalísticos. En política socioeconómica, Nixon impuso controles sobre los sueldos y los precios durante un período de noventa días, impuso la desegregación de las escuelas sureñas, y creó la Agencia de Protección Ambiental. Nixon presidió el alunizaje del Apolo 11, que marcó el final de la carrera espacial. El triunfo electoral de Nixon en 1972 ha sido uno de los más aplastantes en la historia de Estados Unidos, derrotando a George McGovern.

Sin embargo, el año 1973 trajo la crisis del petróleo, el racionamiento de la gasolina, y continuas revelaciones públicas sobre el escándalo Watergate. Este último suceso en particular hizo que Nixon perdiese gran parte de su apoyo político. Nixon dimitió como Presidente el 9 de agosto de 1974 ante un impeachment inevitable. Tras su renuncia, fue formalmente indultado por su sucesor, Gerald Ford y fue rehabilitando su imagen tras publicar varios libros y haber viajado múltiples veces al extranjero. El 18 de abril de 1994, sufrió un derrame cerebral y murió cuatro días más tarde a los 81 años. Nixon sigue siendo un personaje de gran interés para los historiadores.
