That then encouraged me to think about a topic that included those categories which brought to the conclusion that every event had happened during modern-day U.S. history happened during a presidency. While I thought about presidents the only president that I could think of that had something happen during their presidency that falls under every one of this categories was George W. Bush. Events such as the September 11 airborne terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina, and the capture of the “Butcher of Baghdad”, Saddam Hussein.
