Gov. Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas), was sworn in as the forty-second President of the United States on Jan. 20, 1993, after a close race against Republican George W. Bush acting. The victory was the most surprising because of the popularity of President Bush. Nevertheless, the slowdown in recent months and ruthless triangular race between Clinton, Bush and Ross Perot (I) enabled Victor to take office with 43.3 percent of the vote, while Bush won 37.7 percent and Perot took 19 percent. Clinton was a masterful campaign, and Bush failed to adequately protect his presidency. There was also largely out of luck. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote in Prince (1513), which is half of success is based on ability and a half for good luck (good luck).
