The president has the power to override the constitution in times of national crisis, the civil rights movement and hippie movement were clear communist plots to undermine american culture and values

Because he was corrupt and cheated for his re-election (even though he would have won anyway). Also, he wasn't as charismatic as some other presidents. Look at Reagan, who was caught over Iran-Contra but it's ok because he made America feel good.
>Nixon
>soft on commies
Bombed the shit out of Laos simply because they were probably helping the commies, and he decisively split the Sino-Soviet Alliance. Plus he built his political career on leading anti-commie witch-hunts. Not sure what part of that strikes you as "soft on commies".
Forcibly suppressing the civil rights and counter-culture movements would have undermined American culture & values.
So he'd declare martial law nationwide because some hippies were acting up?
