Not very far from where I'm staying in California, in a place called Yorba Linda, is the house where Richard Nixon, 37th president of the United States, was born. Nixon's history is incredibly interesting for he was born in this little house, built by his father from a kit. They grew lemon trees and then they had a petrol station and store because the citrus crop failed. The house has only one bedroom and an attic where the children slept. All of this to say that ANYONE can become president of the United States.
This is the bed he was born in. He is buried in the garden.
He is the only president who has resigned because of course he went out under the cloud of Watergate. But he was president during iconic times and here he is with Elvis.
Nixon was president when man first landed on the moon in 1969 and all the moon landings were made during his presidency.
A piece of moon rock!
Nixon's presidential limousine.
A piece of the Berlin Wall.
The presidential helicopter.
This is the bed he was born in. He is buried in the garden.
