Clinton was the 42nd president of the United States. He served two terms
as president, 1993-2001. He was elected Arkansas attorney general in 1976,
and won the governorship in 1978. After losing a bid for a second term,
he regained the office four years later, and served until he defeated
incumbent George Bush and third party candidate Ross Perot in the 1992
presidential race. Following his two successful terms in office, President
Clinton founded the William J. Clinton Foundation, which works to solve
some of our most pressing problems, including childhood obesity in the
United States, climate change, global poverty and HIV/AIDS around the
world. Admission to this
