George H. W. Bush was born on June 12th, 1924, and was the 41st President of the United States. He served one term from 1989-1993, but lost his re-election to President Clinton. Bush was a Republican along with his sons George Bush and Jeb Bush. George Bush was President after Clinton. Jeb Bush was the Governor of Florida and is currently running for President. One of Bush's greatest accomplishments was his success in international affairs and his military action. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, then threatened to move into Saudi Arabia. Bush then came together with the United Nations and sent in 425,000 American troops as well as 118,000 troops from the allied nations. After weeks of air and missile fire, the 100-hour battle conquered Iraq's million-man army. While he was successful with these affairs, he did suffer with making progress in the United States. He couldn't help the failing economy, inner city violence, and increased high deficit spending, which were reaching all-time highs in the United States. Bush was not directly involved in many significant scandals, but his Secretary of Treasury, Catalina Villapando, was. She was arrested and sentenced to prison primarily for tax evasion and obstruction of justice. Currently, she remains the only treasurer that has been sent to prison. Now, Bush is 92 years old.
