| | 43rd President, William Jefferson Clinton |
 | | William Jefferson Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe IV on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas, three months after his father died in a traffic accident. |
 | | Clinton then shifted emphasis, declaring "the era of big government is over." Instead of sweeping national change, he sought legislation to upgrade education, to protect jobs of parents who must care for sick children, to restrict handgun sales, and to strengthen environmental rules. |
 | | When Clinton left office in January 2001, the U.S. was in the longest period in history of economic expansion, although technology-related companies had begun to feel the strain of over-expansion, and stock market prices had fallen off their historic highs, a presage of coming recession. |
