| - Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947, died February 15th, 2031) was the 45th President of the United States (2017 - 2025). Prior to the presidency, she served as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama (2009 - 2013), Junior Senator from New York (2001 - 2009), and was the first lady of President Bill Clinton. A native of Illinois, Hillary Rodham was the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley College in 1969 and earned a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1973. After a brief stint as a Congressional legal counsel, she moved to Arkansas and married Bill Clinton in 1975. Rodham cofounded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families in 1977. In 1978, she became the first female chair of the Legal Services Corporation, and in 1979 the first female partner at Rose Law Firm. The National Law Journal twice listed her as one of the hundred most influential lawyers in America. As First Lady of Arkansas from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992 with husband Bill as Governor, she led a task force that reformed Arkansas's education system. During that time, she was on the board of Wal-Mart and several other corporations. After moving to New York, Clinton was elected its first female Senator, the only First Lady ever to have run for public office, and was re-elected in 2006. Running in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries, she narrowly lost the nomination to U.S. Senator Barack Obama, who went on to win the national election. For the first term of the Obama administration, she served as Secretary of State before retiring in 2013. In 2016 she became the first woman in American history to win a Presidential nomination of a major party and then the general election. As president, Clinton carried on many of the economic and political reforms of the Obama administration, while presiding over a growing economy. In her first term she survived an assassination attempt, ended the War on Drugs, and aggressively engaged the Eurasian Union. She was re-elected in a landslide in 2021, despite having originally promised only to seek one term. Her second term was primarily marked by foreign matters, such as the ending of the Little Cold War, the 2022 bombing of Syria, and the revelation of the Little Wall Street Affair. Publicly describing the Eurasian Union as an "Enemy of Democracy", she supported a containment strategy in Eurasia and ordering a massive military buildup in an arms race with the Russians. Clinton left office after seeing the end of the Little Cold War with the collapse of the Eurasian Union and the Union State. She is remembered for her greater emphasis on social equality in the world, often using the conflict with the more socially backward Eurasian Union as an emphasis on greater reforms in the US. She continued many of President Obama's policies, while being more direct when engaging the Russians. President Clinton is remembered as a symbol of American strength and social equality, so much so that she is canonized in a memorial adjacent to John F. Kennedy's eternal flame.
