George H. W. Bush
41st president · Republican · January 20, 1989 – January 19, 1993
George Herbert Walker Bush was the 41st president of the United States, serving from 1989 to 1993. A member of the Republican Party, he was the 43rd vice president under President Ronald Reagan. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0)
How to read this
Each card takes a series from one of the site’s Presidency, Congress or Supreme Court pages and shows only the time Bush was in office. Monthly figures run from the month of the inauguration to the month the term ended; a fiscal or calendar year counts for the president who held office for most of its days. Cards whose data begins after 1989 say where it starts, and a card with no data for the term is left out.
These are conditions during a presidency, not a scorecard. Congress, the courts, the Federal Reserve, the business cycle and events abroad move every one of these numbers, and many policies take effect years after they are signed, so a change during a term is not a measure of what the president caused.
Who held power
Party control of Congress

A justice counts for the president who nominated them (a recess appointment from the day it began, if earlier). An associate justice later made chief by another president, like William Rehnquist, counts as an elevation for the second. Failed and withdrawn nominations are not listed.

Data notes
Laws counted as important enactments, the same list the Laws page uses for its “Major law” badge, which explains where it comes from. The list does not yet cover a Congress still in session. Each summary is the first sentence of the Congressional Research Service summary, where one stands alone; votes are each chamber’s final-passage tally, or how it passed without a recorded vote.
Economy
Misery index
The misery index (unemployment plus inflation) was 9.9 in January 1989 and 10.6 in January 1993, with a high of 12.6 in December 1990.
Misery index
Unemployment and inflation
Data notes
The misery index adds the unemployment rate to inflation (consumer prices, change from a year earlier) for the same month. Unemployment is the BLS rate, seasonally adjusted, from 1948; inflation is from the consumer price index, from 1948. The first reading is the month the president took office, the last the month the term ended. Both are national averages and are revised.

Federal deficit and debt
The federal budget balance, as a share of GDP, was −2.7% in FY1989 and −4.5% in FY1992.
Budget balance, % of GDP
Public debt, % of GDP
Data notes
The budget balance is the federal surplus (above zero) or deficit (below) as a share of GDP, by fiscal year (July to June through 1976, October to September since); a year counts for the president in office for most of it, though its budget was usually passed the year before. Debt is total public debt as a share of GDP, quarterly from 1966, including debt the government holds in its own trust funds.

Immigration
Green cards and refugees
New green cards numbered 1.09M in FY1989 and 973k in FY1992, with a high of 1.83M in FY1991.
Green cards
Refugee admissions
Data notes
Green cards are people who became lawful permanent residents in the fiscal year, from the DHS Yearbook of Immigration Statistics (from FY1977). Refugee admissions are from the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center (from FY1980). A fiscal year counts for the administration in office for most of its days; a hatched bar is preliminary.

Removals and border encounters
Removals numbered 34k in FY1989 and 44k in FY1992, with a low of 30k in FY1990.
Removals
Border encounters
Data notes
Removals are formal deportations: the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s through FY2002 (DHS Yearbook) and ICE’s own count from FY2003 (ICE); the two are not the same measure. Border encounters are Border Patrol apprehensions, plus port-of-entry inadmissibles from FY2004 and Title 42 expulsions in FY2020–23 (CBP); they count events, not people. A hatched bar is preliminary.

The U.S. and the world
Goods trade balance
The monthly goods trade balance was −$7B in January 1991 and −$7.9B in January 1993, with a high of −$3.7B in February 1992.
Goods balance, $B a month
Data starts January 1991
Data notes
The goods trade balance is exports minus imports of goods, in billions of dollars a month, seasonally adjusted, on the Census basis, from 1991 (Census Bureau). Below zero the U.S. imported more goods than it exported. Services are not included. Dollars are not adjusted for inflation, so later years run larger.

Troops abroad
Troops stationed abroad numbered 453k in September 1989 and 295k in September 1992. Germany hosted the most in 4 of those years.
Active-duty troops abroad
Data notes
Active-duty U.S. military personnel stationed outside the United States and its territories (afloat and unassigned included where the source reports them), one snapshot a year (September; June for 1953–56), from the Defense Manpower Data Center’s tables and, for years it did not publish, troopdata. The year in progress shows its latest quarter, hatched. From December 2017 DMDC counts permanent assignments only, so later figures leave out most deployed forces.

Reserve level, million barrels
Data notes
Crude oil held in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at the end of each week, in millions of barrels, from the Energy Information Administration (from August 1982). Sales, exchanges and refills are authorized by Congress and the executive branch at different times, and many take months to carry out. The Energy page marks each action.
