Photograph signed: "John Boehner", "G W Bush", Color 8½x11 framed to an overall size of 10½x13½. GEORGE W. BUSH (b. 1946) worked on his father's successful 1988 presidential campaign, before assembling the group of partners that purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989.He served as managing general partner of the Texas Rangers until he was elected Governor of Texas on November 8, 1994. Bush, who became the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive four-year terms when he was re-elected in 1998, resigned on December 21, 2000, having been elected 43rd President of the U.S. Reelected on November 2, 2004, Bush is the only U.S. President to be reelected after succeeding a two-term President of the opposing political party. Bush's presidential record includes the Patriot Act and other measures to combat terrorism, his "no child left behind" education reforms, the military initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan, and major tax cuts. Historians will debate his degree of responsibility for the economic crisis which commenced in the final year of his Presidency. Republican JOHN BOEHNER (b. 1949) has been active in politics for almost 30 years, beginning with his position as an Ohio state representative in 1985. Most notable of his political positions is his long standing position in the House of Representatives, being elected in 1991 and serving concurrently until the present (2013). Boehner has acted as Chairman of the House Republican Conference and Chairman of the House Committee on Education and Workforce during his time in Congress, helping to author and eventually pass the controversial No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in the latter position. Boehner has promoted mostly conservative ideals and positions, including the opposition of gay marriage, upping national security, and refusing to increase taxes, but is often criticized by other conservative republicans for his support of "small-government economic concerns". Since 2010, the politician has served as Speaker of the House, being the first Ohio representative to hold the position.
