To Removed Saddam Hussein From Power In Iraq
Free elections were held in Iraq
Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq, from 1979 until his ousting in 2003, was characterized by authoritarianism, brutality, and a cult of personality. He maintained power through a combination of political repression, widespread surveillance, and the use of military force against dissent, including violent crackdowns on uprisings. His regime was marked by human rights abuses, including torture and executions, particularly against ethnic and political opponents. Additionally, Saddam's aggressive foreign policy, notably the Iran-Iraq War and the invasion of Kuwait, had significant regional implications and contributed to international sanctions and military intervention.
The US invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003 with the intent of overthrowing Saddam Hussein and discovering his cache of weapons of mass destruction (which were never found).
No. When operation Desert Storm concluded in 1991, Hussein was still in power. He remained Iraq's leader until shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Which "Hussein"? If you are referring to Saddam, Hussein is not his last name, but his father's name. (He is called Saddam Hussein as a shorthand for Saddam son of Hussein.) When Saddam was in power, he controlled every facet of the government.
Saddam Hussein was executed (hanged) December 30, 2006....so no.
The Iraqi government
Saddam Hussein never resigned. If you read the transcripts from the criminal proceedings against him (constituted by the US-led Iraqi Authorities), Saddam Hussein repeatedly argues that as the still-reigning President of Iraq, he declares these proceedings in violation of Iraqi law. Saddam was pushed out of power by military force, but never officially resigned his presidency.
The US put him into power.

George Bush Senior removed Hussein's forces from Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm from January thru February 1991 (less than a 60 day military campaign). George Bush Junior invaded the capital of Iraq and removed Saddam Hussein from power during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Both father & son presidents had congressional approval.
