Richard Nixon and Henry Starling

Richard Milhous Nixon was a 20th century Human politician who served as President of the United States.

At some point during his time in office, he greeted computer revolutionary Henry Starling, as well as successfully opening the door to China, becoming the first United States President to visit the Communist nation. (VOY: "Future's End"; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

He was central in the Watergate scandal, one of the events that Q considered to have made life on Earth in the past more interesting than in the 24th century. (DS9: "Q-Less")

An image of Richard Nixon as the timeline reset itself

In 2154, upon return from an alternate version of 1944, Starfleet Captain Jonathan Archer was shown the timeline resetting by a temporal agent named Daniels. Images of President Nixon could be seen as the timeline reset itself. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")

In 2293, Captain Spock "vouched" to volunteer James T. Kirk as a symbolic olive branch to the Klingons. At the time, he referred to a supposedly old Vulcan proverb that stated "Only Nixon could go to China." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Nixon was in office at the time of the conclusion of the initial three-year run of Star Trek and the first season of Star Trek: The Animated Series, as well as during Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's historic moon landing in 1969.
