Bill Clinton: The President whose tenure witnessed immense economic expansion Bill Clinton who got elected as the 42nd President of the United States of America in 1992 and became the third youngest President in the history of America. Theodore Roosevelt who became the President in 1901 after the assassination of the then President, William McKinley remains the youngest President to occupy office at the age of 42 years. William Mckinley was the the 25th President of America elected in 1896 Presidential election. He was Republican. McKinley was born on 29 January 1843 in the city of Niles located in northeastern part of the state of Ohio. One of the important events during the time of President McKinley was the Spanish-American War of 1898. In this war America defeated Spain and gained the terrories of Puerto Rico (island in the northeastern Caribbean Sea), Guam (island in the north Pacific Ocean) and Philippines (an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean). McKinley won the first term of Presidency in 1896, during this election his Running Mate was Garret Augustus Hobart. Before named as the Vice Presidential candidate of McKinley, Garret Hobart was elected to the General Assembly as well as the Senate of New Jersey state. He served as the Vice President of America between 4 March 1897 to 21 November 1899. He died on 21 November 1899. In 1900 elections, McKinley again wanted to have Hobart as his Running Mate but his death made him to choose (rather Republican Party chose) Theodore Roosevelt, the incumbent Governor of New York state as his Vice Presidential candidate. On 6 September 1901, President McKinley was assassinated by Leon Frank Czołgosz, an anarchist (anarchists believe in the abolition of state) in the city of Buffalo, New York state and he died on 14 September 1901. Hence, Theodore Roosevelt, being the Vice President of McKinley became the 26 the President of USA on same day. But, Theodore Roosevelt remains the second youngest 'elected' President at the age of 46 when he won the Presidential election in 1904 (in 1901 he didn't win the office of the President but acquired it as a virtue of Vice President of McKinley who died as a President in office). John F. Kennedy also known as JFK (Democratic Party) is the second youngest President of America to enter the office in 1962 at the age of 43. But, he is considered as the youngest President to be elected to office as unlike Theodore Roosevelt, JFK became the President by winning the election. John F. Kennedy was the candidate of Democratic Party in the 1960 Presidential election. His Running Mate was Lyndon B. Johnson, the Senator from Texas. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson ticket defeated the Republican rivals Richard Nixon (Presidential candidate) and Henry Cabot Lodge Junior (Vice Presidential candidate). Bill Clinton or William Jefferson Blythe III was born on 19 August 1946 in Hope city of south central state of Arkansas. Hope city is a birthplace of two Governors of Arkansas i.e. Bill Clinton (he served as Arkansas Governor from 9 January 1979 to 19 January 1981 and again from 11 January 1983 to 12 December 1992) and Michael Dale Huckabee (he was the Governor of Arkansas from 15 July 1996 to 9 January 2007.

William Jefferson Blythe Junior was born on 27 February 1918 in Sherman city in Texas state. He used to sell the heavy equipments. On 17 May 1946 when he was returning from Chicago (one of the biggest cities in USA located on the edge of lake Michigan in the Midwestern state of Illinois) to Hope city in Arkansas in his Buick car met with an accident on US Highway 60 also known as the US Route 60 which connects the southwestern state of Arizona with the Atlantic state of Virginia. The accident took place on the outskirts of the city of Skiston in the state of Missouri. When a tyre of his care blew up he was thrown in a ditch or water channel and got drowned in a drainage.

At the time of this accident Virginia Blythe was pregnant with the child of William Jefferson Blythe Junior and she gave birth to a baby boy three months after this tragic incident, and this boy was Bill Clinton. After the birth of Bill Clinton his mother went to the New Orleans (it is a city in southern state of Louisiana in USA bounded by Arkansas on North, Texas to the West, Mississippi to the East and the Gulf of Mexico to the South) in order to pursue a course in nursing. Virginia Blythe (Clinton) was used to administer anesthesia. The nurses who are experts in administering anesthesia to patients before operation are called as nurse anesthetist. She was born on 6 June 1923 in Bodcaw town of Arkansas. After the death of William Jefferson Blythe Junior, Virginia got married with Roger Clinton Senior. He was a car salesman. William Jefferson Blythe III later on decided to adopt the surname Clinton, the surname of his stepfather. When Bill's mother had been to New Orleans for studying nursing course he was looked after by his maternal grandparents Eldridge and Edith Cassidy.

Bill attended different schools in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Hot Springs is a resort town in the state of Arkansas.There are many natural hot springs in this town. Clinton used to play a medium- sized saxophone since his young days. The year 1963 played crucial role in attracting young Bill towards politics and making a career as politician. In this year he had an opportunity to meet John F. Kennedy, the then President of USA in White House. He was also influenced by the famous 'I Have a Dream' speech of Martin Luther King Junior (the famous Civil Rights Activist from USA, who was inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi and had visited India along-with with his wife Coretta Scott King in 1959). 'I Have a Dream' speech was delivered by Martin Luther King Junior on 28 August 1963 on the steps of Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. In 1964, Clinton took admission in Georgetown University in Washington DC.
