Who is Bill Clinton?

William Jefferson Clinton was born in Hope, Arkansas, on August 19, 1946. He was a fifth-generation Arkansan. His mother, Virginia Kelly, named him William Jefferson Blythe III after his father, who died in a car accident before his son’s birth. When Bill was four years old, his mother left him with her parents while she trained as a nurse. In 1974 Clinton decided to begin the political career that he had wanted since he was a teenager. He ran for Congress but lost the election in a very close vote. On October 11, 1975, Clinton married Hillary Rodham whom he had met when they were fellow law students at Yale. In 1976 he was elected attorney general of Arkansas, an office he held from 1977 to 1979. Bill Clinton won the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination and defeated George Bush to become the forty-second president of the United States. He was elected to a second term in 1996. As a former president, Clinton continues to work for a variety of issues that became important to him during his political care.
