__Richard Nixon__ Richard Nixon was born January 9, 1914. He was the 36 th  president and the only president to resign. He attended Whittier College and Duke Law School. He later joined the Navy where he rose to Lieutenant and later joined the House of Representatives. He was elected as president in 1968 but resigned in 1974. And he died in April 1994 after suffering from a stroke .   The reason I picked Richard Nixon was because he was president in 1970 and who is more influential then the president. In 1970 he played a large role in environmental issues. He helped create Earth Day and had a hand in many other things.
