Steve Martin (Napoleon's World)

Stephen Glenn "Steve" Martin (born August 14, 1945) was the 41st President of the United States, serving from 1997 to 2005. Prior to this, he was the Governor of California from 1987 to 1995. A lifelong Nationalist, Martin won two broad electoral victories and is credited with mainstreaming the party in the wake of the unpopular conservative turn in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

As President, Martin oversaw a recovery from a mid-1990's recession and executed both the Scottish Conflict and the Cyrene War in his first term. His second term saw a broad economic growth, as well as the tragic February 22 bombings in Washington D.C. in 2003. Martin reformed the American welfare system as well as the National Bank, and balanced the budget all four years of his second term.

Presidency of Steve Martin: 1997-2005
Steve Martin took the oath of office on January 20, 1997, becoming the 41st President of the United States. In his inaugural address, he stated boldly, "There is nothing this nation cannot do, nothing we the people cannot achieve, no challenge too burdensome to overcome, as we enter the final three years of this century to lay the groundwork for the next generation of American leaders." From the onset, the Martin administration's theme was of kick-starting the economy, lowering the unemployment rate and revitalizing a generation of workers who had suffered through inflation, a cutthroat jobs market and three recessions over the course of nearly two decades. Martin, encouraged by the growth of the technology industry, publicly called for a "full-court press to update and innovate our country with modern technology."
