AUTHOR: George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946)
is an American politician and businessman who was the 43rd President of the
United States from 2001 to 2009 and the 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to
2000. The eldest son of Barbara Bush and George H. W. Bush, he was born in New
Haven, Connecticut. After graduating from Yale University in 1968 and Harvard
Business School in 1975, Bush worked in oil businesses. He married Laura Welch
in 1977 and ran unsuccessfully for the House of Representatives shortly
thereafter. He later co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team before defeating Ann
Richards in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election. In a close and controversial
election, Bush was elected president in 2000, becoming the fourth president to
be elected despite receiving less popular votes nationwide than his opponent.
Bush is the second president to have been the son of a former president. He is
also the brother of Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida.
