PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. "BILL" CLINTON
This spectacular piece is an extra-large 43x35 color bust portrait of the United States' 42nd President standing at a podium and in front of an American flag, signed in black ink.
Printed Art Signed in Ink: "Bill Clinton" in black ink. Color, 35½x26¼ print (visible) on fabric-textured paper in 43x35 brown frame with blue-and-grey matte. Bill Clinton, born William Jefferson Blythe III in Hope, Arkansas in 1946, was Governor of Arkansas (1979-1981, 1983-1992) and the first Democrat reelected President since FDR. The only elected U.S. President to be impeached (Andrew Johnson was impeached, but he had not been elected to the office), on February 12, 1999, President Clinton was acquitted on both articles of impeachment brought against him: charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton's popularity stood at 67% at the end of his trial, however. Obviously, many Americans were willing to overlook his personal failings in an era of peace and prosperity. His accomplishments in office included a waiting period for gun purchases (the Brady Law), the Family and Medical Leave Act, the North American Free Trade Agreement, welfare reform and balancing of the federal budget. Clinton had previously co-written (with Al Gore) Putting People First (1992), and he would publish his successful autobiography, My Life, in 2004. As of 2015, William "Bill" Clinton has appeared 52 times in the cover of TIME Magazine since 1992, sharing the cover with former U.S. President George W. Bush in the July 23rd edition. Framed in a brown frame with a blue-and-grey matte. Stray red in mark above Clinton's nose. Fine condition.
