Richard Nixon was a notable President of the United States and Vice President under President Dwight Eisenhower.
His vice presidency under Eisenhower was used as a comparison for John Hoynes vice presidency under President Josiah Bartlet in 2002.[1]
The panda bear Hsing-Hsing was given to the United States by China after a famous visit by President Nixon.[2]
Clips from Nixon's presidency were shown in a Frontline documentary made featuring White House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg in 2004, and released sometime after 2007.[3]
Notes
Nixon is famous for being the only President to resign, although the events surrounding the Watergate scandal were never referenced in the series. He is the last real-world President to be referenced.
