During election campaigns, future presidents travel with election campaigns around the states, but usually these are those cities where the support of a candidate is traditionally high. One of the presidents visited all the capitals of the regional capitals, and no one has broken his record yet.

Richard Milhouse Nixon(January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) became the only president in the history of the United States of America to resign before the end of his term.

So the 37th president was remembered by many events, but the end of his reign was very sad.

Nixon resigned after the Watergate scandal in 1972, when 5 people were detained at the Watergate complex in Washington, DC, setting up spy equipment that monitors the headquarters of the Democrats. Litigation lasted until 1974, when tapes of Nixon's conversations were made public, in which he discussed how to obstruct the Watergate investigation with the help of the FBI and CIA. After that, the president lost all allies and was forced to resign.
