Inaugural Address: Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon accepted the Republican Party's nomination for president (for the second time) on August 8, 1968, in Miami, Florida. Nixon narrowly beat out fellow Republican and then-California Governor Ronald Reagan, delivering a speech that reflected his desire to "bring us together again" and reunite the country in divisive times.

On August 8, 1974, Richard M. Nixon addressed the American people to announce his resignation.

Richard Nixon's personality and character issues may have led to his involvement in the Watergate scandal.

In 1968, Richard Nixon ran on a platform for the presidency that included a "secret plan" to end the war in Vietnam.
