George W. Bush - 43rd President of the United States

George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn into office on January 20, 2001, re-elected on November 2, 2004, and sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005. Before his presidency, he served for six years as Governor of the State of Texas.

Throughout his presidency, President Bush worked to extend freedom, opportunity and security at home and abroad. His first initiative as president was the No Child Left Behind Act, a bipartisan measure that raised standards in schools, and insisted on accountability in return for federal dollars. Faced with a recession when he took office, President Bush cut taxes for every federal income taxpayer, which helped set off an unprecedented 52 straight months of job creation.

In addition, President Bush implemented free trade agreements with more than a dozen nations; empowered America?s armies of compassion by creating USA Freedom Corps and the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives; promoted a culture of life; improved air quality and made America?s energy supply more secure; designated more ocean area habitats for environmental protection than any predecessor; transformed the military to meet the changing threats of the 21st century and nearly doubled government support for veterans.

Since leaving office, President Bush has focused his attention on developing the George W. Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, which will encompass the Presidential Library and Museum, Archives and the George W. Bush Institute. The Institute is committed to advancing four principles that guided the president during his time in public service: education, global health, human freedom and economic growth, along with two additional areas that touch on all four: the women?s initiative and social entrepreneurship. The Institute engages in action-oriented research and creates partnerships with foundations, social entrepreneurs, NGOs, government entities and faith-based organizations?seeking to turn ideas into action.

President Bush and his wife, Laura Welch Bush, have twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna, and a son-in-law, Henry Hager.
