It's not an error. It's not saying Pres. Bush is the current president. It's saying he was the incumbent at the time of the presidential race that the sentence is talking about. 76.202.192.102 (talk) 00:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

In the marriages and family section, it says "Kerry and his second wife—Portuguese-born businesswoman and philanthropist Teresa Heinz..." She was NOT born in Portugal. She was born in Mozambique. This needs to be corrected, but apparently, we can't edit anything on this article currently. Someone who CAN edit it needs to. I don't know how this slipped by, because it's been very well-known for many years that she is from Africa. 76.202.192.102 (talk) 00:17, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I believe that we should change the main photo of this article to his official 2013 portrait. This is because the 2013 photo is more aesthetically pleasing than the one currently used, and since articles about politicians on Wikipedia tend to use official portraits.

Not done: I don't think this necessarily rises to the level of notability, particularly on the strength of a single press release. PianoDan (talk) 17:10, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
