The Public Record
George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States, serving from January 20, 2001, to January 20, 2009. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the Governor of Texas from January 17, 1995, until December 21, 2000.

Bush's domestic policies included tax cuts, education reform, and Medicare prescription drug benefits.
