1 RICHARD NIXON
2 New Federalism Less federal government control More state and local control Revenue sharing States received money spend how they saw fit Federal government reduced restrictions Block Grants
3 Domestic Policy Liberal or conservative? Democratic Congress Changes from Johnson Dismantled the Office of Economic Opportunity Impounded funds for social programs (overturned by Supreme Court) Didn t push Civil Rights
4 Domestic Policy Changes (with a liberal bent) Family Assistance Plan Government guaranteed income More funds for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security Environmental Protection Agency Occupational Safety and Health Administration Consumer Products Safety Commission
5 Southern Strategy Goal: attract Southerners Tended to be conservative Unhappy with Democrats push for Civil Rights Appointed conservatives to Supreme Court (four) Warren Burger new Chief Justice Southern whites leave Democratic Party for Republican Party
6 Supreme Court Cases Swann vs. Charlotte- Mecklenburg Board (1971) Schools could use bussing to achieve school integration Roe vs. Wade (1973) States can t restrict abortion in first three months of pregnancy
7 THE ECONOMY
8 Inflation and Unemployment are economic indicators Inflation Rate of economic growth Increase in prices Good if the rate is 3% to 4% (a healthy economy) Under 3% = lack of growth Over 5% could = price inflation Unemployment Number of eligible Americans who can work but are unable Unemployment above 5% can have negative consequences
9 Unemployment and Inflation USUALLY an inverse relationship As unemployment rises, inflation drops As inflation rises, unemployment drops Stagflation (Defined) As inflation goes up so does unemployment As unemployment goes up so does inflation An identical relationship rather than inverse relationship Attempting to fix one often makes the other worse
10 CAUSES OF STAGFLATION Deficit Spending Great Society Vietnam War Impact on inflation or unemployment? More economic competition Japan West Germany Impact on inflation or unemployment? Increased labor force Baby boomers Women Impact on inflation or unemployment? The OPEC Oil Embargo
11 The OPEC Oil Embargo OPEC Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries Mostly Middle Eastern, Arab, Muslim nations 1973: war between Israel and Egypt U.S. supported Israel OPEC put embargo on oil shipments to U.S. Will that impact inflation or unemployment?
12 Impact of the oil embargo on the U.S. Shortage of oil Supply and demand? Increase in gas prices (up to four times) Many trade in gas guzzling cars Ford, Chevrolet, General Motors, Chrysler, Pontiac Many bought fuel efficient cars Toyota, Datsun (Nissan), Honda, Volkswagen
13 Impact of the oil embargo on the U.S.
14 Nixon s Attempt to Fix Stagflation Raise taxes, cut federal budget Congress didn t approve Raise interest rates Slowed down economy more August, 1971 price & wage controls (90 days) Only helped temporarily
15 Impact of Stagflation Deindustrialization Industrial jobs left U.S. 32 to 38 million Relocation of American companies overseas Cheaper More profits for American companies Population shift from rustbelt Labor Workers lost family wage jobs Retraining of workforce Many replacement jobs service sector Unions lost power Couldn t bargain for benefits/salary (fear of closing plant)
16 STAGFLATION % 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% INFLATION UNEMPLOYMENT 1.0% 0.0%
17 THE WATERGATE SCANDAL
18 The Pentagon Papers Daniel Ellsberg Clearance to top secret documents Released to New York Times Showed Vietnam was a lie Nixon tried to stop it Supreme Court ruled against him Nixon steps up surveillance of enemies Paranoid?
19 The Pentagon Papers Nixon had aides attempt to steal documents to discredit Ellsberg Led by Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt Became known as the plumbers
20 The Pentagon Papers Nixon had enemies list Paranoid Afraid of losing re-election Close election in 1960 Close election in 1968 He will put the plumbers to work!
21 The Election of 1972 Heading up campaign: John Mitchell (former Attorney General) Committee to Re-Elect the President CRP or Creep?
22 What s working against Nixon? Vietnam Economy What s working for him? Democratic party a mess Fight between liberals and conservatives dirty tricks... The Election of 1972
23 The Election of 1972 George Wallace Running as Democrat Claimed he was moderate and no longer favored segregation Bid ended by Arthur Bremer in Maryland
24 The Election of 1972
25 The Watergate Break-In June 17, 1972 Burglars break in offices of Democratic National Committee Nixon s press secretary denied any involvement Burglars convicted January, 1973 Judge John Siraca gave maximum sentences
26 The Watergate Break-In Two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein began investigating Given information from secret source known as Deep Throat Deep Throat s identity wasn t revealed by Woodward and Bernstein until Mark Felt number two man at the FBI
27 The Watergate Break-In James McCord said he lied because John Dean (counsel to Nixon) and John Mitchell (Attorney General) told him to Nixon authorized hush money Chief of Staff H.R. Halderman ordered CIA and FBI to stay away Halderman, Jeb Stewart Magruder, and John Erlichman resign; John Dean is fired
28 Congressional Hearings Elliot Richardson is new Attorney General February, 1973: Senate votes 77-0 to investigate Archibald Cox becomes Special Prosecutor
29 Congressional Hearings July 16: Alexander Butterfield (White House aide), said Nixon had taping system in White House to record all conversations Cox wants tapes, Nixon claims executive privilege
30 Congressional Hearings
31 Meanwhile... Nixon s Vice-President, Spiro Agnew, resigns More corrupt than Nixon? Took bribes as Governor of Maryland Cheated on taxes Republican Minority leader, Gerald Ford, nominated as new Vice- President
32 Congressional Hearings Saturday Night Massacre Nixon orders Richardson to fire Cox Richardson refuses and resigns Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus also refuses and resigns Finally Solicitor-General Robert Bork fires Cox Replaced by Leon Jaworski
33 The Secret Tapes Nixon willing to give edited transcripts of tapes Contained phrase expletive deleted Supreme Court rules Nixon must hand over tapes One tape had 18 ½ minute gap Nixon: error by secretary Rose Mary Woods Experts: erased five different times November 17, 1973, famous I am not a crook speech
34 The Secret Tapes
35 The End Late July House Judiciary committee votes for impeachment August 5, after hearing the tapes (which have Nixon ordering the cover up of Watergate), vote is 38-0
36 The End Three charges of impeachment: Misuse of Presidential power Obstructing justice Defying subpoenas August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon becomes first (and only) President to resign Gerald Ford becomes 38 th President
37 Opinions? One man s opinion Richard Nixon is a nogood lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in." -- Harry S Truman.
38 Why resign? Nixon never admitted wrongdoing If innocent why wouldn t not fight it?
39 Did it impact Nixon?
40 What about the polls?
41 September 8, 1974 "There are no historic or legal precedents to which I can turn in this matter, none that precisely fit the circumstances of a private citizen who has resigned the presidency of the United States.... Many months and perhaps more years will have to pass before Richard Nixon could hope to obtain a fair trial by jury... But it is not the ultimate fate of Richard Nixon that most concerns me... but the immediate future of this great country.... Now, therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, president of the United States... have granted and do grant a full, free and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he... has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974." Excerpts of Gerald Ford s pardon of Richard Nixon
42 Why would Ford pardon Nixon? Was Ford trying to put Watergate behind us and focus on fixing America s problems? Had Ford and Nixon made a deal regarding the vicepresidency and subsequent pardon?
43 Impact of Watergate President can t impound funds appropriated by Congress Freedom of Information Act (1974) More access to government documents Fair Campaign Practices Act (1974) Limits campaign contributions Allowed for political action committees (PAC s) Following Vietnam and Watergate... Do you trust your government?
44 Lessons of Watergate? Did the System really work? To what extent was Justice served? How effective are campaign finance reform laws? Is the President above the law?
