United States Presidential Election, 2004 (The FDR Amendment)

The United States presidential election of 2004 was held on Tuesday, November 2, 2004, to elect the President of the United States. It was the 55th consecutive quadrennial election for President and Vice President. Democratic Party candidate and incumbent Vice President John F. Kennedy Jr. defeated Republican Party candidate George W. Bush, former governor of Texas and the 2000 election's Democratic candidate. The then incumbent president Franklin D. Roosevelt III announced that he wouldn't be seeking a third term instead he nominated his vice president.

Foreign policy was the dominant theme throughout the election campaign, particularly Roosevelt's conduct of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the bombings of Tora Bora ( which killed the plotter of the 9/11 attacks, Osama Bin Laden). Domestic issues were debated as well, including the economy and jobs, health care, and moral values.
