In sentence 2, the underlined word "presidents" is a subject.
In order to answer this question, let's analyze the passage.
The passage states, "In the year 2000, U.S. citizens elected the 43rd president."
Here, the underlined word is "elected." Now, we need to determine the function of this word in the sentence.
