George W. Bush
George W. Bush was the 43rd President, and was the 2nd in history to be the son of a former President. Before becoming the President, he was the governor of Texas for 5 years. President George W. Bush was in office for two terms, and two memorable terms to say the least. Bush was the President during the 9/11 attacks in 2001, later invading Afghanistan and starting the 2nd Gulf War in Iraq. In response to the devastation of 9/11, Bush established the Department of Homeland Security. Since he only won the popular vote by 0.5%, there was a recount in Florida, but it was later concluded that he won by the electoral vote, even though he lost the popular vote.

Rutherford B. Hayes
The 19th president of the United States was President Rutherford B. Hayes from the years 1877 to 1881. There was a big dispute before he was elected President, he ended up losing the popular vote but winning the electoral vote. Can you believe it took months for them to decide if he was to become President? We also can’t believe that the famous Mark Twain promoted Haynes for the presidency! Before running for office, Rutherford was the governor of Ohio for three terms. He was apart of the Whig Party, and a big proponent for civil rights for African Americans in the United States. But, to no avail, a Democrat-majority Congress made this impossible. Rutherford’s wife was very legendary, being the first college-educated First Lady and for promoting the first alcohol-free White House.
