George W. Bush

George W. Bush, born on July 6, 1946, is the 43rd President of the United States, serving from 2001 to 2009. The son of President George H.W. Bush, George W. was born into a prominent political family. Before his presidency, Bush served as the Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000, focusing on education reform, tax cuts, and criminal justice.

As president, Bush’s tenure was defined by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which led to the War on Terror, including the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. His administration also oversaw significant domestic policies, such as tax reforms and the No Child Left Behind Act. However, his presidency faced criticism for the handling of Hurricane Katrina and the 2008 financial crisis.

After leaving office, Bush turned his focus to philanthropy, working on veteran assistance programs, global health initiatives, and writing his memoir Decision Points. Despite controversies, he remains an influential figure in Republican politics.
