Richard Nixon (1913-1994) was a former President of the United States who twice appeared as a character on The Simpsons.
Biography
Nixon was the 37th President of the U.S., serving from 1969 to 1974. He was also the 36th Vice President, serving in that office from 1953 to 1961. Nixon holds the historical distinctions of being the only President to resign from office and the only person to be elected twice to both the Presidency and Vice Presidency. After his time as President, Nixon became a prolific author and an elder statesman in the area of foreign affairs, being consulted by both Republican and Democratic successors to the Presidency. He died of a stroke in 1994.
