In the 1968 Presidential Election, a nation that seemed to be on the verge of chaos elected Republican candidate _____________________________, a former Senator from California and Vice-President of Dwight David Eisenhower from 1953 until 1961. After losing the 1960 Presidential election to John F. Kennedy and the 1962 California Gubernatorial election, this candidate returned to win the Presidency. Some notable accomplishments include the withdrawal of US military forces from Vietnam and his visit to Communist China in 1972. After his overwhelming re-election in 1972, this President was forced from office due to the unfolding "Watergate" scandal. The President is the only one to date to resign from office, which he did effective 9 August 1974.
