Bush, in response to the attacks of 11 September 2001. Its purpose is to organize and ensure the internal security of the country.

2- In the 2000 elections in Florida, many votes were canceled because they were badly drilled. This affected the final recount and led the Supreme Court to annul a new recount, giving victory to Bush.
