Bill Clinton is an American politician and attorney. He served as the 42nd president of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Prior to his presidency, he held two non-consecutive tenures as the Governor of Arkansas (from 1979 to 1981 and again from 1983 to 1992). Clinton’s policies reflected a centrist “Third Way” political philosophy, earning him the label of a New Democrat. During his presidency, he presided over the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in American history. Notably, he signed into law the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. Despite facing impeachment in 1998, he was acquitted by the Senate in 1999.
