Bush to other moderate candidates. However, in 2007, Susan Eisenhower left the Republican Party, noting that the moderates had lost their place in the party. Instead, in 2007, she became a registered Independent.</li><li>Her grandfather, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, established the modern GOP after assuming office in 1953.

Twenty-five years later she was on the Moscow barricades as the Soviet Union collapsed, which she chronicled in her memoir, <i>Breaking Free</i>.
