Richard Nixon was a congressman from California. In 1963, Liu Han lobbied Nixon and a number of other members of Congress for military aid for the Chinese Communist Party's resistance to the Race's colonization of China. Nixon was hesitant to support a communist party but was convinced to acquiesce when Liu Han bluntly told him "You help us, you help people go free from Lizards."
[A]t the age of 39, with four years of service in the House and not quite two in the Senate, Richard Nixon was the running mate of one of the most popular figures in U.S. history. The ticket of Eisenhower and Nixon resoundingly triumphed over the Democratic team of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois and Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama.

Richard Nixon attended public schools in Whittier, California, and went to Whittier College, a Quaker institution, where he majored in history. He won a scholarship to Duke University Law School and received his law degree in 1937. Nixon joined an established law firm in Whittier and there met his future wife, Thelma (“Pat”) Ryan. They married on June 21, 1940, and had two daughters: Patricia, born in 1946, and Julie, born in 1948.
Richard Nixon started his political career by venturing to Washington to join the Price Administration. Next, he joined the Navy and became a lieutenant commander. He won popularity for his excellent debating skills and became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He ... participated in the House of Un-American Activities and was involved in the highly publicized case against Alger Hiss, who was accused of perjury.
Richard Nixon was born on his father's lemon farm in Yorba Linda, California, on January 9, 1913. Of the four other sons in the family, two died in childhood. Nixon's ancestors had emigrated from Ireland in the 18th century and settled principally in Pennsylvania and Indiana. His mother's family were Quakers; his Methodist father adopted the Quaker religion after his marriage. As a youth, Nixon regularly attended Quaker services in Whittier, California, where the family moved in 1922 after the farm failed. Nixon's father ran a grocery store in Whittier.

Nixon explains that invading Cambodia will end the Vietnam war. He was right; we lost! While Richard Nixon was mysteriously absent at the time of the explosion, few believed he was directly involved in the scandal, and instead blamed people in his administration. It was not until a poorly edited tape was found in 1974 that a strong case could be put against him. The tape began with Nixon discussing the plan with several other people, before it turned to a blue screen from where Nixon would later attempt to record over. The footage resumed with Nixon dramatically yelling, "What now, punk?", whilst holding a gun, still smoking from the fatal shot which killed one of the men in the room. Huh. Damned if this article wasn't accidentally erased by some Uncyclopedia secretary.
