Ronald Reagan, who was union president of the Actors Union from 1947 to 1952. NOTE: Upon returning to Hollywood in 1947, he began a five-year term as president of the Screen Actors Guild, a position he again assumed in 1959. http://www.answers.com/topic/ronald-reagan [Link and Note added March 21, 2008] Jul 14 00, 11:20 AM

I'm adding the following as the United States is a federal "union" of fifty states. On an early October morning in 1909, President William Howard Taft became the first President to walk into the Oval Office. Greeting the 27th President of the United States were silk velvet curtains and a checkerboard floor made of mahajua wood from the Philippines. Caribou hide tacked with brass studs covered the chairs in the room. President Taft chose the olive green color scheme. http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/life/ovaloffice.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States Mar 21 08, 4:39 PM
