BILL CLINTON, HIMSELFNow, let’s talk about our main person. The 42nd president of the United States of America. His name is William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton. His political party is the democratic party. This is what he looks like:

This is Bill Clinton’sSignature.

BILL CLINTON’S EDUCATIONIn Hot Springs, Bill attended St. John's Catholic Elementary School, Ramble Elementary School, and Hot Springs High School – where he was an active student leader, avid reader, and musician. He was in the chorus and played the tenor saxophone, winning first chair in the state band's saxophone section. He actually considered dedicating his life to music!!

BILL CLINTON’S INFLUENCEBill Clinton was highly influenced by the preachings of Martin Luther King Jr. He attended and memorized Martins' “I Have a Dream” Speech.

CLINTON’S EARLY CAREERIn 1964, Clinton graduated from Hot Springs High School. In 1963, as part of the American Legion Boys’ Nation program, he went to Washington, D.C., and shook hands with President John Kennedy at the White House. Later Kennedy inspired him to pursue a career in public service. Clinton went on to earn a degree from Georgetown University in 1968. Afterward, he attended Oxford University on a Rhodes scholarship. In 1973, he received a degree from Yale Law School.At Yale, Clinton started dating fellow law student Hillary Rodham (starting from 1947). After graduating, the couple moved to Clinton’s home state, where he worked as a law professor at the University of Arkansas. So, his early career was just being a law professor.

BILL CLINTON: THE POLITICIANIn 1974, Bill ran for Congress against an incumbent Republican Congressman. No one expected Bill to win or even be competitive. Bill, however, campaigned hard and only lost by a few hundred votes. Instead of discouraging him, Bill went back out to meet people the day after the election. In 1976, Bill was elected the Attorney General of Arkansas at the age of 30. Two years later Bill ran for governor and won, becoming the youngest governor in the United States in over four decades. Bill Clinton, however, became too ambitious and alienated the voters of Arkansas, losing a close re-election campaign. Although this would have ruined the careers of most politicians, Bill Clinton persevered and rebuilt his image and won back the governor's mansion in 1982. Bill, learning from his earlier mistakes, toned down his agenda, but still accomplished his goal of improving Arkansas' public schools. Bill has also exhibited slightly erratic behavior characterized by several geniuses. In 1988, nearly all of Bill Clinton's friends expected him to run for president. As late as thirty minutes before Bill's press conference, his top aide was convinced that Bill would run for president. Hillary had no clue what Bill had decided. Apparently, Bill decided when he was walking to the podium that he would seek re-election as governor and not seek the presidency. Bill, however, did make one enormous blunder during the 1988 campaign. Bill gave a horrible speech at the Democratic National Convention. Many pundits declared his national political career dead before it even started. Bill Clinton, however, proved the pundits wrong by winning the presidency in 1992, by overcoming a plethora of charges brought by some very powerful opponents. Throughout, Bill Clinton has surmounted many setbacks during his presidency including failure of his health care package, the 1994 Congressional elections, and of course the numerous scandals. But despite these setbacks Bill Clinton persevered and accumulating a significant number of accomplishments, including passage of his 1993 Budget, the Brady Bill, a balanced budget, welfare reform, NAFTA, and winning re-election in 1996.

HIS TERM(S) OF OFFICEBill Clinton’s term(s) of office were from January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001. However, he only had 2 terms. During the 1st term, he signed the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1193 on February 5. During the 2nd term, Clinton proposed a new initiative to provide coverage to up to five million children. These are his terms of office.

POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATIONBill Clinton’s Political Party is the Democratic Party. This was from 1993 to 2001. In 1987, there was media speculation Clinton would enter the race after then-New York Governor Mario Cuomo declined to run and Democratic front-runner Gary Hart withdrew owing to revelations of marital infidelity. Clinton decided to remain as Arkansas governor. For the nomination, Clinton endorsed Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis. He gave the nationally televised opening night address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention, but his speech, which was 33 minutes long and twice as long as it was expected to be, was criticized for being too long

and poorly delivered. Presenting himself as a moderate and a member of the New Democrat wing of the Democratic Party.

THE VICE – PRESIDENTThe Vice – President during Bill Clinton's presidency was Al Gore. He was born on March 31, 1948 in Washington, D.C. Fortunately, Al Gore is still alive. He is currently not experiencing any disease

HIS PRIMARY RESIDENCE Bill Clinton currently lives in Chappaqua, New York. He lives in a house with his wife, Hillary Clinton. This is what his house looks like:

SO NOW, IS HE . . . . . . .What is the president doing now? Oh, I know. He is busy running the William J. Clinton Foundation. The William J. Clinton Foundation is a foundation Bill Clinton established with the mission to improve global health, strengthen economies, promote healthier childhoods and health and wellness, and protect the environment by fostering partnerships among businesses, governments, nongovernmental organizations, and private citizens.

AFTER THE PRESIDENCYAfter Bill Clinton left the White House, he moved to

Chappaqua, New York, the home-base of that state's junior member of the United States Senate, Hillary Clinton. The

former President keeps an office in New York City and maintains an active speaking schedule. His energies are

devoted to two common post-presidential chores: writing a memoir and overseeing the creation of his presidential library in Little Rock, Arkansas. Moreover, as one of the youngest men ever to depart the presidency, he is still actively involved in issues of public concern, especially through the work of the Clinton Presidential Foundation. The Foundation's agenda includes combating HIV/AIDS, fostering racial and ethnic reconciliation, and promoting the economic empowerment of poor people. Clinton also

has a reputation as one of the most smart political experts within the Democratic Party.

BILL CLINTON’S LEGACYBill Clinton is my favorite president. There are about a million things he has done for not just America, but for the world. For example, he created the William J. Clinton Foundation; And that helps people around the world. He had also had the economy booming with the record of the largest budget surplus (amount of money left) in America’s history. He helped the most people get jobs during the presidency. If only we could just make the terms longer . . .
