Richard M. Nixon – 142.9
Richard Nixon was known for his skills with foreign affairs negotiations. During his presidency that spanned from 1969-1974, he ended the U.S.’s involvement in Vietnam, as well as started diplomatic relations with China, signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the USSR, and the prisoners of war home. Even while serving as Dwight Eisenhower’s vice president, he was able to accomplish many great tasks. He is the face of desegregation in the Southern states, and he helped fund the Environmental Protection Agency, launched the “War on Cancer”, and signed the anti-crime bill. He tried to run for a second term in office, but lost to John F. Kennedy. Many people believe that had it not been for the Watergate scandal, his ratings would have been much higher.
