Richard Nixon, while definitely and uncommon choice I've always been captivated by him. His highs were high like creating the EPA, negotiating SALT and pulling out of Vietnam but his lows were very low most notably being the Watergate Scandal which has overshadowed his presidency. I've also just found him as a person just very interesting from his harsh upbringing to his battle with mental health.
