20 janv. 2001 - George Bush is sworn in as the 43rd President of the United States

Description:

Following a controversial election result, former Texas governor George Bush was sworn in as U.S. President on 20th January 2001. Though he originally outlined an ambitious domestic agenda, his priorities changed significantly after the terrorist attacks of the same year. Wars were waged in Afghanistan and later Iraq, while significant debates regarding immigration, healthcare, Social Security, economic policy, and treatment of terrorist detainees took place within the US.

Over an eight year period, Bush's once-high approval ratings steadily declined, while his disapproval numbers increased significantly. In 2007, the U.S. entered into its longest post-World War II recession and the administration responded by enacting multiple stimulus packages.
