[1] Saddam Hussein was the fifth President of Iraq. His term began on July 16, 1979. [2] And the United States considered it ended on April 9, 2003. For that was the date on which American forces took control of the capital city of Baghdad. [3] But Saddam Hussein and his lawyers didn't share that opinion. They challenged, albeit without success, the legality of the Special Tribunal by which he was tried and sentenced to death by hanging. For their opinion was that Saddam Hussein never stopped being their country's President.
