Nixon administration
Ford's predecessor's team
The Nixon administration is the executive branch of the U.S. government during Richard Nixon's presidency (1969–1974).
It pursued détente with the Soviet Union, opened relations with China, and ended American involvement in Vietnam.
The administration collapsed amid the Watergate scandal, which led to Nixon's resignation—the only presidential resignation in U.S. history.
