- 1. George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, served from January 20, 2001, to January 20, 2009, following a contentious election in 2000 that was decided by a narrow Supreme Court ruling. A member of the Republican Party and the son of George H. W. Bush, the 41st President, he was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, and grew up in Texas. Before entering politics, Bush worked in the oil industry and served as the owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team. His presidency was marked by significant events, including the September 11 attacks in 2001, which reshaped U.S. foreign policy and led to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bush's administration implemented several domestic policies, including the No Child Left Behind Act and significant tax cuts. His time in office saw heightened political polarization and debates over issues such as the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina response, and the financial crisis of 2007-2008. After leaving office, Bush's legacy remained contentious, with both praise and criticism regarding his foreign policy decisions, particularly regarding the War on Terror and his administration's approach to global issues like climate change.
