As of noon on January 20, 2001, George Walker Bush is President of the United States. His term expires on January 20, 2005, and presumably he will run for reëlection on November 2, 2004, assuming he survives untouched by Tecumseh's Curse.

George W. Bush is a President surrounded by a plethora of historical factoids. GWB is the second President to be the son of a previous President, one of very few presidents to be elected while losing the popular vote. His inauguration ceremonies were tainted by mass protests, given the dispute regarding the Florida election results, which have garnered him the derisive, occasionally used monikers "His Fraudulency" and "King George II". He gave an inaugural address of average length, but the inauguration lacked the traditional Inaugural Poem.
