The year I was born.

A long time ago in 1974 I was born. Plenty of things happened that year, such as the invention of the Rubik’s cube, but not available until 1980 in the United States.

President Nixon was the first president to resign from office that year because of the Watergate scandal and Gerald Ford became the 38th president.

The Watergate scandal was a break-in at the Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate complex in Washington DC. His party had implanted listening devices in the building, so they could find out what was going on, but it was Nixon who received backlash. He had to resign because of his involvement in the scandal.

Yet, President Nixon signed The Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act, on January 2nd, 1974 ,to set a new maximum speed limit.

Thank you for reading.
