EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "CARTOON: NIXON, 1973. Don't put up any resistance! Just keep in step" could be: "This political cartoon from 1973 by Edmund Valtman captures President Richard Nixon's determination to marginalize Congress and achieve his policy goals at any cost. Depicting a scene outside the Capitol in Washington, D. C. , the cartoon portrays Nixon as a stern figure leading a group of men in suits, symbolizing his Republican allies. The caption emphasizes Nixon's relentless pursuit of power, urging others not to resist but instead obediently follow his lead. This reflects the contentious relationship between Nixon and Congress during this period, as he frequently clashed with lawmakers over issues such as Vietnam War policies and Watergate investigations. Valtman's illustration serves as a commentary on Nixon's willingness to use any means necessary to advance his agenda, including vetoing legislation passed by Congress or bypassing their authority altogether. The late April date suggests that this cartoon was created during a time when tensions were high between the president and legislators. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection, this image offers insight into an important chapter in American political history and highlights the ongoing struggle for power between branches of government.
