George H. W. Bush
George H.W. Bush, Sr. served as the President of the United States for a term that ran from 1989 to 1993. However, members of the younger generation will probably remember him better as the father of President George W. Bush. Before he was elected the head of state, the older Bush previously served as Vice President for Ronald Reagan for 8 years. He was known for his leadership skills during times of crisis. He was a great negotiator, especially when it came to international relations. His term in office coincided with the end of the Cold War, the first Gulf War, and the collapse of the Berlin Wall. He was also credited for several important acts like the Clean Air Act, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the Americans With Disabilities Act. Aside from these feats, he also holds the longest presidential marriage record at 73 years!

John Adams
John Adams was the second person to have assumed the title of the President of the United States. He was in office from 1797 to 1801. This founding father is best remembered for building up the navy during his term, an accomplishment that later earned him the moniker, “The Father of the American Navy”. He famously resolved the conflict between the United States and France. Unfortunately for him, Thomas Jefferson beat his bid for reelection after his first term.
