| abstract
| - As President, Bush was a robust presence in the foreign policy and defense spheres, responsible for the reforms of the United States military infrastructure due to concerns over a potential war with France. He founded the National Intelligence Cabinet and National Security and Communications Agency, formed the President's National Security Council with its head, the National Security Advisor, eventually becoming a Cabinet-level position, and integrated the armed forces while rearranging the structure of the Department of War into the Department of Defense, eliminating the Secretaries of the Army and Navy as Cabinet-level offices and placing them under the new Secretary of Defense. He agreed on reparations with France over alleged American misconducts in Canada during the 1941-43 occupation, ended the American occupations of southern Vietnam and Jamaica, and in his second term conducted a brief and successful war with the Boer Republic and sent a peacekeeping mission to western England (Wales), thus beginning the United States' involvement in the Anarchy. Domestically, Bush supported civil rights and fought, unsuccessfully, to repeal voting restrictions and interracial marriage bans for blacks. He removed federal restrictions for blacks, Asians and Hispanics to enter government service and signed the 1950 Immigration Standardization Act, which removed racial or ethnic preferences for immigrants, merely setting a standard yearly limit for immigration and standardizing the previously roughshod practice. Bush significantly cut the federal income and corporate taxes and abolished the inheritance tax, but refused to eliminate Social Security passed by his predecessor and declined to pursue stringent anti-labor policies popular at the time despite his background as a businessman. The federal deficit nearly doubled under his term in office and he sparred with agricultural interests over eliminating farm subsidies, which he opposed. He is regarded as a National Party icon, and his socially liberal and fiscally conservative stances influenced later leaders such as Dick Van Dyke, Robert Redford and Steve Martin. Bush is typically also regarded as the patriarch of the Bush political family. He was the father of George Bush, the 48th Vice President of the United States, and the paternal grandfather of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who was the 2004 National Party nominee for President, and of Texan oil billionaires, George W. Bush and Neil Bush, owners of LoneStar Petroleum and Resources.
