George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12, 1924) was President of the United States between 1989 and 1993. He was born in Milton, Massachusetts and was a politician in Texas.
He was the vice-president when Ronald Reagan was President.
When he ran for re-election in 1992, Bill Clinton won.
He is the father of George W. Bush, the current President, and Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida. He has two other sons. His wife is Barbara Bush.
Because he has the same first and last names as his son, he is often called George H. W. Bush or George Bush Sr. (George Bush senior). Some people call him "41", because he was the 41st President.
