While earning respect from many for his foreign policies, controversy seemed to follow Richard Nixon. He resigned early in his second term rather than face Congressional impeachment over the Watergate scandal. He achieved victory in his first congressional campaign by falsely accusing his opponent of being a communist. As a Freshman congressman, Nixon gained fame by pursuing suspected communists in government.

Although he established relations with Communist China during his administration, a major accomplishment, Richard Nixon continues to be known for the Watergate break-in that destroyed his Presidency.
