George H. W. Bush

George H. W. Bush was in office for one term, from 1989 to 1993, and he is the father of President George W. Bush. Before becoming president, George Bush Sr. served as Vice President for 8 years, when Ronald Reagan was president. George Bush Sr. was well-known for his skills as a leader (especially during crisis), was a skilled negotiator (really good for international relations), and during his presidency, there were several symbolic historical events, such as the Cold War ending, the Berlin Wall falling, and the first Gulf War. He was also behind several landmark acts, like the Clean Air Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico, and if that isn’t everything, his marriage is the record holder for the longest presidential union, lasting 73 years!
