Final answer:
George H. W. Bush is often considered to have one of the most impressive resumes, having roles like CIA Director and Vice President before becoming the forty-first president.
Therefore, option 1) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The President often considered to have one of the most impressive resumes in American history is George H. W. Bush. He had a varied career that included roles such as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Vice President under Ronald Reagan before he became the forty-first president of the United States after defeating Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election. In contrast, Bill Clinton was a younger candidate with a different background, who despite a troubled family life and being part of the baby boomer generation, focused on political aspirations from an early age and eventually won the 1992 presidential election. Ross Perot, despite a successful business career, did not have the political career experience of Bush or Clinton and did not win any Electoral College votes in the election he participated in.
