I tried searching for similar threads but the search function was playing up for me. There probably have been threads along these lines, but I couldn't find any.
Anyway, I've long-since been fascinated with Richard Nixon. He had a rather impressive rise to power, being Vice President age 40. He's also one of the few to have lost a presidential election, but be nominated again by the same party and win. However, Nixon's a very divisive historical figure, mostly down to Vietnam and Watergate. That said, there's a lot to his credit, such as his role in affirmative action, NASA and establishing the EPA.
So, how can one go about reforming Nixon's political career that makes him at least as successful as he was in OTL - meaning being a president. Bonus points if you manage to make him both Veep and Peep, and that he finishes his second Peep term unblemished by impeachment or resignation. Treble bonus points if you turn him into a universally-respected elder statesman after his presidency, liked by Democrats and Republicans alike.
