    Barack Hussein Obama II

    born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States, and the first African American to hold
    the office. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University andHarvard Law School, where he
    served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law
    degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at University of Chicago Law
    Schoolbetween 1992 and 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997
    to 2004, running unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives in 2000.
    In 2004, Obama received national attention during his campaign to represent Illinois in the United States
    Senate with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National
    Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November. He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and,
    after a close primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in
    the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination. He then defeated Republican nominee John
    McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his
    inauguration, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
    During his first two years in office, Obama signed into law economic stimulus legislation in response to the Great
    Recession in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment
    Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. Other major domestic initiatives in his first term included
    the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as "Obamacare"; the DoddFrank Wall Street
    Reform and Consumer Protection Act; and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010. In foreign policy,
    Obama ended U.S. military involvement in the Iraq War, increased U.S. troop levels inAfghanistan, signed the New
    START arms control treaty with Russia, ordered U.S. military involvement in Libya in opposition toMuammar
    Gaddafi, and ordered the military operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. In January 2011, the
    Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives as the Democratic Party lost a total of 63 seats; and,
    after a lengthy debate over federal spending and whether or not to raise the nation's debt limit, Obama signed
    the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
    Obama was reelected president in November 2012, defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and was sworn in
    for a second term on January 20, 2013. During his second term, Obama has promoted domestic policies related to
    gun control in response to theSandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and has called for greater inclusiveness
    for LGBT Americans, while his administration has filed briefs which urged the Supreme Court to strike down part of
    the federal Defense of Marriage Act and state level same-sex marriage bans as unconstitutional. In foreign policy,
    Obama ordered U.S. military intervention in Iraq in response to gains made by the Islamic State after the 2011
    withdrawal from Iraq, continued the process of ending U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan, andnormalized U.S.
    relations with Cuba.
