Bush, George W.
In full �George Walker Bush� 43rd president of the United States (2001 - ). Narrowly winning the electoral college vote over Vice President Al Gore in one of the closest and most controversial elections in American history, George W. Bush became the first person since Benjamin Harrison in 1888 to become president despite having lost the nationwide popular vote. He was narrowly reelected in 2004, defeating Democratic challenger John Kerry. Before assuming the presidency of the United States, Bush was a businessman and served as governor of Texas (1995 - 2000). (For a discussion of the history and nature of the presidency, see presidency of the United States of America.)
