Bill Clinton rose from a modest childhood in Hope, Arkansas, to become one of the most naturally gifted campaigners in modern American politics. Elected president in 1992, he presided over a long economic boom and left office with the federal budget in surplus. His time in the White House was also overshadowed by scandal, leading to his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1998 and acquittal by the Senate. He positioned his party nearer the political centre, an approach that influenced centre-left leaders in other countries, including Britain. After leaving office, he focused on global charitable work through his foundation.
