COuntry Leader Part 3

Mexico is a federal republic headed by President Enrique Pena Pieto. He was the eldest of four siblings in a middle class family; his father, Gilberto Enrique Pena del Mazo was an engineer for the electric company and his mother, Maria del Socorro Nieto a schoolteacher. Reports that he fathered two children in extramarital affairs while his wife Monica raised the couple's 3 children, plus the investigation into the sudden death of his wife at home in 2007 have prompted many to call him the Teflon candidate because trouble seem to slide off him. Two years later he announced his engagement to soap opera actor Angelica Rivera. Rivera became his wife in a star studded wedding ceremony two years ago and is now the first lady of Mexico.
 Saudi Arabia is a kingdom ruled by Abdallah bin And al-Aziz Al Saud, who is both King and Prime Minister. He has fathered 22 children, the youngest when he was 79. He is worth approximately 22 billion dollars. He was appointed commander of the Saudi Arabia National Guard a post he was still holding when he became king. In November 2007, King Abdullah visited Pope Benedict in the apostolic Palace. He is the first Saudi monarch to visit the Pope. In March 2008, he called for a "brotherly and sincere dialogue between believers from all religions." In 2011, he granted women the right to vote and run in future municipal elections, the biggest change in a decade for women in a puritanical kingdom that practices strict separation of the sexes, including banning women from driving (the only country in the world with such a  ban.) The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and Commonwealth realm, ruled by Prime Minister Dave Cameron and Queen Elizabeth the second. . At the age of seven, the young Cameron was paced off to Heatherton, a highly exclusive preparatory school, which counted Princes Edward and Andrew among its pupil. Then, following in the family tradition, came Eton, Britain's top private school. His first child, Ivan, who was born profoundly disabled and needed round the clock care, died in Feb. 2009. The experience of caring for Ivan and witnessing at first hand the dedication of NHS hospital staff, is said by friends to have broadened Mr. Cameron's horizons. He had, friends say, led an almost charmed life to that point. Cameron is the youngest prime minister in over 200 years. Elizabeth became queen on Feb. 6 1952 and was crowned on June 2 1953. Her reign has lasted 60 years - and counting. Venezuala is a federal republic headed by President Nicolas Maduro Moras. Nicolas Maduro Moros worked a s a bus driver before politically active in the early 1900s. Maduro was introduced to Hugo Chavez in 1992, after Chavez and other disenchanted members of the military were imprisoned for an attempt coup and Maduro began campaigning for Chavez release. After President Chavez won a third team in October 2012, he selected Maduro to serve as vice president.
