Richard Nixon & Henry Starling
Richard Milhous Nixon was a 20th century human who served as the 37th President of the United States from 1969 until his resignation in 1974. At some point during his tenure 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.
Nixon was forced to resign in 1974 due to the Watergate scandal. (DS9: "Q-Less")
An image of Richard Nixon as the timeline reset itself
In 2154, upon return from an alternate version of 1944, Earth Starfleet Captain Jonathan Archer was shown the timeline resetting by a temporal agent named Daniels. Footage of President Nixon could be seen as the timeline reset itself. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
President Nixon's hardline conservatism positioned him as the only viable negotiator for peace with the Communist Chinese government. A more liberal negotiator would be seen as being a "patsy" for that government. In 2293, Captain Spock "vouched" to volunteer James T. Kirk as a symbolic olive branch to the Klingons, for this same reason. A Vulcan saying once stated: "Only Nixon could go to China." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
