Nixon was a complex man. I don't know enough about him to form a complete opinion, but he wasn't all bad.
Good:
High intellect
Started the EPA
Had an enemies list
Put proof of aliens in a time capsule for us to see one day
Was not a crook
Bad:
Extremely paranoid
Lied about trying to get out of Vietnam
Watergate
Tried to get John Lennon deported
Hated the jews, gays, blacks, everyone
Was a piece of **** -

Andrew Jackson was WAAAAAAAAY worse.
I do like the way he abolished the National Bank (It took almost 100 years before the fed replaced it.) and stood up to the Supreme Court. Since then, presidents have allowed them to reign
supreme
rather than being a coequal branch of government.

On the Secret Honor DVD there are TV recordings of him addressing the American people about Watergate and handing over documents. It is very lawyerly and it seemed reassuring that a president had such a firm grasp of the case against him. George W. Bush and Donald Trump I don't think would have seemed so competent. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton probably would have.

read up on the NY draft riot massacre

If this were to happen today under Obamas terms in office, he would look like the devil incarnate. -

Maybe i misspoke before about corruption.. What I meant to say was all presidents are very flawed… including many( if not all) were corrupt
Power corrupts. Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely
The POTUS isnt a king, but hes close enough
