George W. Bush was born on 6 July 1946 in Yale – New Haven Hospital. An American Republican politician and the son of President George H. W. Bush, Bush worked in business and as the owner of a baseball team before becoming governor of Texas. He became the 43rd president after the disputed election of 2000, which was decided by the Supreme Court. The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 shaped his presidency, leading to the war in Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The financial crisis of 2008 came at the end of his second term.
