Who is the current president of Mexico, when did he become president, and why was the election memorable?

Hamlet.

Vicente Fox became Mexico's President in 2000, and it was memorable because the election actually did not seem extremely corrupt! "Vicente Fox Quesada (born July 2, 1942) was the President of Mexico from 2000 to 2006. Fox was elected President of Mexico in the 2000 presidential election, a historically significant election that made him the first president elected from an opposition party since Álvaro Obregón in 1920. The 2000 election was also significant because it was the first presidential election since the end of the Mexican Revolution to be generally considered competitive and fair. He was elected with 42 percent of the vote, marking the first time that the then-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party had lost a presidential election." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Fox [Added reference - McG] Oct 28 03, 7:34 PM
