He was the incumbent vice-president for the popular President Reagan. He was the heir-apparent , had a virtual lock on the nomination and seems to have a good chance of winning.

Could George Bush serve as president again?

You're asking if George Bush can serve as President again, but you posted the question to the George W. Bush category.George Bush (George H. W. Bush) was elected President only once, so he's free to run again. The only thing that may stop him is the fact that he's 87 years old.George W. Bush was elected twice, so according to the 22nd Amendment to the U. S. Constitution he may not be elected President again.Regarding whether George W. Bush can serve again as President... The 22nd Amendment only prohibits a person from being elected President more than twice, which seems to leave the door open for one of the other ways of becoming President besides the Presidential election. Those that debate this fact point out that in order to run for Vice President you have to be qualified to be President. However, if he were Speaker of the House when both the President and the Vice President died, I believe he would be qualified to assume the Presidency.Of course, this is a huge hypothetical; I seriously doubt Mr. Bush as any intention of running for Congress.
