Why Is Bill Clinton A Good President

William Jefferson Clinton also known as “Bill” our 42nd president was a very good president for the most part. He was not a good president just because there was a surplus in the economy at the end of his eight year term but he kept the peace during his term. Though I was not around for much of his term I think he did a pretty good job at what he did. Clinton got many people interested in voting for him when he started talking about a family man in office. The people wanted a better economy so that was his ultimate goal to give the people what they want.
Bill was originally from Hope, Arkansas and grew up in Little Rock with his family. Bill was born on August 19, 1946 and is now 70 years old. Bills father died in a car crash a few months before
His main reasoning for this was so that just about anyone wealthy or non-wealthy could afford health care. The reformation of welfare was also another big thing he did so that the people who did not need welfare would not just keep taking advantage of it. So Clinton signed a bill that placed limits on how long people could receive benefits and who could qualify for those benefits. He also lifted economic sanctions against South Africa when it’s government ended the policy of apartheid. In 1999 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) orders air strikes against Yugoslavia with the bombing of Serbian military positions in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo and the Serbians began “ethnic cleansing”. In 1993 Clinton signed North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) into a law and U.S., Canada, and Mexico entered a free trade zone agreement. The agreement went into effect in 1994. While he was in office we also had full diplomatic relations with vietnam. Newt Gingrich disliked many of Clinton's policies and issued a contract with America that included items that would be enacted if the Republicans won control in the 1994 midterm election. One thing Bill Clinton was known for is that he balanced the budget and kept the country out of debt. He also did some other things like made more than 22 million new jobs, highest homeownership in American history, lowest crime rate in 26 years, enacted most sweeping gun safety legislation in a generation, lowest poverty rate in 20 years. Overall Bill was a very good president until one day he was questioned under oath about having an improper relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and he lied. The required amount of votes failed to convict Clinton in the Senate
