When President Obama took office, there were two wars going on-- one was in Iraq and the other in Afghanistan. Both were started during the presidency of George W. Bush. Mr. Obama promised he would end both wars and bring the troops home; in 2011, he concluded our involvement with the war in Iraq and brought a large contingent of troops home. But the war in Afghanistan continued, although his promises for his second term included bringing that war to a conclusion and allowing U.S. troops to leave.
Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009 is when he left the White House and Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the US.
He died in office.
George Washington wanted to leave the presidency after his first term primarily to avoid the rise of political factions and set a precedent for future leaders. He believed that a long tenure could lead to a concentration of power and potentially threaten the republic. Additionally, Washington felt the demands of the presidency were burdensome and desired to return to his private life at Mount Vernon. His decision to step down reinforced the principle of voluntary transition of power, which was crucial for the young nation.
