Richard Nixon was always known as an uptight individual. The juxtapose of Nixon and Elvis delighted people of all ages. Rumor has it that this meeting came about after Elvis wrote Nixon a letter and hand delivered it to the White House. In the letter, Elvis told the President of his love of country and would do anything to help Nixon out. Nixon responded right away and the next day they posed together for this photograph. The image of a cool rock star posing with Nixon was very powerful and gave him a great image boost until the Watergate scandal a short time later. Nixon eventually resigned his Presidency.
