Clinton's first term was marred by a difficult election, with Democrats losing control of both the House and Senate in the 1994 midterm elections. However, he bounced back to win easily in the 1996 election, defeating Republican candidate Bob Dole and becoming the first Democratic president to be re-elected since Franklin Roosevelt in 1936.
Clinton's second term was overshadowed by his impeachment by the House of Representatives for obstruction of justice, along with many other scandals, most notably the sex scandal with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

His first term was overshadowed by the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001, and their aftermath.
In 2004, Bush was re-elected to a second term after defeating Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.
