George W. Bush

Drinking

The most important & significant fact of former US President, George W. Bush was that he was a successful governor of a large complicated US State. That being the State of Texas.

It means you try to avoid talking about or telling someone something directly. You might beat around the bush when trying to tell someone you love them.

Republican .

There are four things that can happen to a bill. The first thing is the president can sign it and it goes into law. The second thing is the president allows the bill to go into law without his signature. If the bill sits on the president's desk for ten days and Congress is still in session, the bill automatically becomes law. This happens to two kinds of bills: boring bills that just make real small technical changes to laws, and bills that the president doesn't really like but doesn't have any reason to veto either. Third is the pocket veto. If Congress is out of session when the 10 days elapses, the bill dies. It's like he put it in his pocket and forgot about it, which is how it gets its name. And fourth is the veto. The president marks "veto" on the bill, states his objections to it and sends it back. At this point Congress has three options. The first is to make the changes the president wants, revote the bill and send it back to the White House for signature. This generally does NOT happen. The second is to revote the bill as it stands, and it becomes law should two-thirds of both houses vote for it. The third is just to let the bill die. Sometimes you'll hear that a bill has a veto-proof majority in one or both houses of Congress. This means at least two-thirds of the members of that house voted in favor of the bill. It also means the president doesn't like it.

You may have seen some internet myths that claim President Obama has used Air Force One the most of any president, but actually, representing the United States in foreign countries is part of the president's job, and nearly every modern president has done a considerable amount of overseas travel. Further, even cross-country travel requires the use of Air Force One: the presidential plane is specially equipped, safe, secure, and able to provide the president and his staff with the space and the privacy needed to work while taking long trips. It appears that both President Bush and President Obama made about an equal number of international trips during their first term in office, and they seem to have used Air Force One the most, compared to President Clinton, who made far fewer trips than Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama did. I enclose a link to which countries these and other presidents visited in recent years.

No. The president can not cause a recession . The causes of recessions are many and complicated and vary with each recession. One man or even one corporation can not cause a recession. As for preventing a recession or shortening a recession, even there, the president is more of a cheerleader or at best a coach than a cause. He can make suggestions but he can not change the law or set government fiscal policy - only Congress can do that. After each recession, new laws and regulations are put in place in hopes of preventing another recession, but people find ways around the laws or create new financial schemes that no one had thought to outlaw. Further the government can not legislate against greed or stupidity or bad management.

He lived in the white house for 8 years now he moved back to Texas where he used to live.

Yes, Norman Mineta served as secretary of transportation from 2001-2006

He lived and worked in the oil business in Texas for many years and went on to become a two-term governor of Texas,serving for eight full years. He won re-election with over 69% of the vote and was generally a poplular governor. He signed a popular bill to allow concealed weapons that the previous governor had vetoed. He pushed through the largest Texas tax cut in history of over $2 billion.

He retired to Texas after he was President.

Yes, George Herbert Walker Bush was the President from 1989 January 20 to 1993 January 20, 8 years before George W. Bush took office on 2001 January 20. Bill Clinton was the US President for the 8 years between the 2 Bush presidencies.

The George H.W. Bush Administration talked about establishing a "New World Order." Although this was good regarding foreign policy, they lacked conceptual vision and strategy. The post-Cold War or "new agenda" issues under the Bush administration required that foreign policy, agenda, and assumptions had to be rethought. Even governmental agencies such as CIA and the National Security Council, which were the product of the 45-year tensions with the former USSR, had to be reformulated and rethought. Not only did the Bush Administration have to deal with the leftover dilemma of the Cold War, but in the attempt to establish agreements of arms reduction and new relations with Russia, the administration had to act upon the invasion of Panama to take Manuel Noriega out of power and the Persian Gulf War during the Iraq invasion of Kuwait.

Obama is not. I cannot say about Bush.

Republican Party candidate George H.W. Bush won the 1988 presidential election defeating Democratic Party candidate Michael Dukakis. In the 1988 presidential election George Bush received 426 electoral votes and Michael Dukakis received 111 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Bush 48,886,097 and Dukakis 41,809,074.

Yes, look at the booklet that comes with a Rock Against Bush CD, it should have a section titled: 20 reasons to hate bush, one of the listed reasons was the totally preventable cause of the war in Iraq- he went against his Secretary of Defense's advice. The advisor stated that invading Iraq WAS NOT a good idea-bush invaded anyway...

Yes. Bill Clinton announced on July 8, 2009 that he supports same-sex marriage. Previously, he did not support it and even signed the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") into law during his presidency. That law prohibited federal recognition of same-sex marriages.

September 11, 2001 was the date of the attacks on the World Trade center in NY and against the Pentagon in DC. The United States of America entered into a war in both Afghanistan (October 7, 2001), and Iraq (March 19, 2003) as a result. The War in Afghanistan was in direct response to the September 11th attacks on the U.S. Conversely, while there was initial suspicion that the Iraqi Government of Saddam Hussein might have had some connection to the Al-Qaeda terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks, the declaration of the war in Iraq was ultimately based on separate issues pertaining the U.N. resolutions and sanctions pertaining to full disclosure and inspections for possible possession, or manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction, and/or the laboratories and components necessary to create such weapons.

As of September 11, 2001, The United States of America was under attack on its own soil, and since the attack came from terrorists with no permanent base, or country of origin, the U.S. basically declared war on terrorism in general, and terrorist groups, cells and individuals world wide. Investigations and intelligence reports indicated that the Afghanistan based Al-Qaeda, the extremist Sunni Islamist militant group founded by, now deceased, Osama bin Laden, was behind the 9/11 attacks, and the Unites States began military operations to defeat Al-Queda, hunt down Osama bin Laden, and confront any country or group that would harbor terrorists, or in any way support or aid their activities.

yes, i also play the flute in band i have to look up the flute history

because he fuked up the country

In previous decades, women were home to take care of homes and children while men worked. The 1970's brought about more women leaving the homes to go work and men taking more responsibility around the house.

No. George W. Bush went to Yale as an undergraduate but did not study law there or anywhere else. He was not a lawyer but rather a businessman.
