Explanation:

1.

The turn of the century (around 2000) had Bill Clinton serving until 2001, but George W. Bush took office in 2001. However, Clinton was president at the very turn (late 90s to 2001 start). But more accurately, Clinton was president at the turn (1990s - 2000 transition). Wait, actually, George W. Bush was elected in 2000 and took office in 2001. But the "turn of the century" (year 2000) was during Clinton's term (he served 1993 - 2001). So Clinton served at the turn of the century.

The 9/11 attacks happened in 2001, during George W. Bush's presidency (he took office in 2001). So Bush (George W. Bush) was president during 9/11.

Barack Obama established the Affordable Care Act (healthcare reform) during his presidency (2009 - 2017).

Answer:

Clinton
