A fiercely religious man, Carter claimed that he was inspired by a sermon in which he was asked, if it was a crime to be a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? With the country looking to move forward from Watergate, Carter defeated incumbent Gerald Ford and became 39th President of the United States. He was graced with the nickname “Deacon.” The Georgia native was a champion of civil rights and desegregation and, despite being a dark-horse candidate, emerged from the democratic party to win the 1976 presidential nomination.
Probably one of the most honest men to ever grace the Oval Office, Jimmy Carter’s codename couldn’t have been more fitting. He was far from a light in the darkness, and if only he had lived up to his nickname it might have saved him his presidency.

During the scandal, Nixon went to extreme lengths to end the investigation, which is ironic given his code name: “Searchlight.” Despite his seemingly firm hold on American politics, his fear of a mid-term defeat led to the Watergate scandal and his eventual resignation. Nixon was able to re-engage with China and presided over the Apollo 11 moon landing. Before the Watergate scandal, Nixon had won re-election in one of the biggest landslides in US history. The 37th President of the United States, Richard Milhous Nixon is probably best remembered for his dishonesty.
