Adamkus joined the United States [[Environmental Protection Agency]] on its inception in [[1970]] and was appointed regional administrator by President [[Ronald Reagan]] in [[1981]]. He was responsible for all air, water, hazardous waste, and other pollution control programs in [[Illinois]], [[Indiana]], [[Michigan]], [[Minnesota]], [[Ohio]], and [[Wisconsin]]. In [[1985]], President Reagan presented him with the Distinguished Executive Presidential Rank Award -- the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a civil servant. He served as regional administrator for 16 years and retired in 1997 after 29 years of federal service. While serving in the U.S. government, Adamkus was a Republican. |

Shortly after leaving the EPA, Valdas Adamkus moved back to Lithuania. Soon after his decision to run for President he faced a legal battle in the Lithuanian courts, as questions were raised over Mr. V. Adamkus's eligibility to run for presidency due to the length of time he had spent abroad and the possibility he might not meet minimum residency requirements. However, the court resolved the case in Mr. Adamkus' favour and no other obstacles remained other than his U.S. citizenship, which he officially renounced in the American Embassy in [[Vilnius]], a move which enabled him to register his name on the candidates' list for the Presidential campaign. He was elected as President of Lithuania in 1998, serving from then until 2003, when he ran for re-election, but was defeated unexpectedly by populist [[Rolandas Paksas]]. He came back to politics as surprisingly as he had left, after the presidential scandal of 2003/2004, when his former rival Paksas became the first European Head of State to be impeached and removed from office. Mr. Adamkus ran for President again and this time was successful. |

The first round of that election was held on [[June 13]], [[2004]], with V. Adamkus securing 30% of the vote - more than any other contender (it is worth noting that R. Paksas also wanted to run for office again, just after he had been dismissed through a parliamentary vote. However, a ruling from Lithuania's Constitutional Court "disallowed" him from running for public office and he was, therefore, unable to register as a candidate in the 2004 presidential campaign). A runoff was held on [[June 27]], [[2004]] and V. Adamkus won with about 52% of the votes against Kazimiera Prunskiene. Since [[July 12]], [[2004]], he has again been serving as the President of the [[Republic of Lithuania]]. |
