William Jefferson Clinton (born August 19, 1946) is an American politician who served as the 42nd president of the United States from 1993 to 2001. He served as governor of Arkansas (1979–1981 and 1983–1992) and as Arkansas attorney general (1977–1979). Clinton was a New Democrat, and his policies reflected a centrist "Third Way" political philosophy. Clinton presided over the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in American history. He signed into law the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Ac. In the 1994 elections, the Republican Party won unified control of Congress for the first time in 40 years. In 1996, Clinton became the first Democrat since Franklin D. Roosevelt to be elected to a second full term. During the last three years of his presidency, the Congressional Budget Office reported a budget surplus—the first since 1969. More
