Richard M. Nixon's head is a world-leading politician. He was the president of the United States between 1969 and 1974, and has been the president of Earth since 3000, with a short interruption by Lrrr in 3010 (6ACV11).
Biography
President of the United States of America
Richard Nixon was born in 1913, and became the president of USA in 1969. Nixon was president when the USA claimed to send the first men to the Moon in 1969, but as was revealed much later, the moon landing was in reality a hoax, as it was all filmed on Venus.
Nixon resigned from office in 1974, after what became known as the Watergate scandal. He died from a stroke in 1994.
President of Earth
Little is known of what Nixon did between his death and the year 3000, though it is known that he had his head put in a jar, and spent some time in the Presidential wing of the Head Museum (1ACV01). Nixon dislikes being a head, though - he was extremely fond of his old body, and describes it as "flabby, pasty-skinned, riddled with phlebitis - a good Republican body".
Later that year, however, he ran a successful dark horse campaign, and was elected President of Earth, sweeping the robot vote with his charismatic new robotic body (2ACV03). This body also was the reason why he could become president for a third time (after twice in the 1900s) - while no body can't be president more than twice, Nixon had a brand new body. Nixon's vice president was the Headless body of Agnew.
As a tax refund, Richard Nixon printed a $300 'Tricky Dick Fun Bill' for all Earthicans in 3004 (4ACV16), with his picture on it.
In 3009, vice president Headless body of Agnew was killed by the Feministas in an accident. It is not known who took the position of vice president since, if anyone.
In 3010, Nixon resigned from the Presidency when Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8, invaded (6ACV11). Nixon probably regained office afterwards, though neither Nixon or anyone else has been seen as president since.
Production
Nixon Makes the "Aroo!" noise because he reminds Billy West of a werewolf and also his performance is partially based on the way Anthony Hopkins portrayed the man in Oliver Stone's 1995 film "Nixon".

Trivia
- Richard Nixon's head is an extra in the Toynami Futurama collectible of Zapp Brannigan.Underneath it is a peg. This peg is used for connecting Nixon to Bender's body when you remove his head. This is a reference to "A Head in the Polls", in which Nixon bought Bender's body so that he can be elected again since the law says, "nobody can be elected twice".
- Nixon is known to join the Robot Devil for poker nights.
