Bill Clinton's the name
Quote “Big things are expected of us, and nothing big ever came of being small.”
Quote “We cannot build our own future without helping others to build theirs.”
Before Presidency President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas, three months after his father died in a traffic accident. When he was four years old, his mother wed Roger Clinton, of Hot Springs, Arkansas. In high school, he took the family name. He excelled as a student and as a saxophone player and once considered becoming a professional musician. While in high school, he met President John Kennedy in the White House Rose Garden. The encounter led him to enter a life of public service.
During Presidency In 1998, as a result of issues surrounding personal indiscretions with a young woman White House intern, Clinton was the second U.S. president to be impeached by the House of Representatives. He was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He apologized to the nation for his actions and continued to have unprecedented popular approval ratings for his job as president.
After Presidency ince leaving office, Bill Clinton remains a newsmaker. From his recent travels with former President George H.W. Bush, seeking aid for Asian tsunami victims, to a reported flirtation with the idea of serving as secretary-general of the United Nations, Clinton is taking an expansive view of his new role as former president of the United States.
