Today I have signed into law S. 3001, the 'Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009.'
George W. Bush
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. His presidency was marked by significant events, including the September 11 attacks in 2001 and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bush's domestic policies included tax cuts, education reform, and Medicare prescription drug benefits.
The Act authorizes funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad.
