17. Sounds like you need to do a little homework on Clinton.
Bill Clinton - Forty-second President of the United States.

A huge defeat for Clinton was when he and Hillary Clinton's plan for a national health care system failed, because of Republican opposition.in Congress.

An important protective bill that passed in 1993 soon after taking office was the Family and Medical Leave Act, This act required large employers to give employees time off for illnesses or pregnancy.

Clinton was the first two term Democratic President since Franklin Roosevelt.
In a period of increasingly divided politics, Clinton moved his policies more to the center to appeal to mainstream America.
Despite being impeached, he remained a very popular president.

Economically, the U.S. experienced a period of prosperity during Clinton's time in office.
The stock market rose dramatically.
This helped add to his popularity.
