He started out as a Texas Congressman and later, Senator. However, he had not been a member of Congress for almost 20 years when he became President. Prior to his presidency, he had been Ronald Reagan's Vice-President for 8 years.
The US president has always been elected in substantially the same way. The real change was in the way the vice-president was elected.

(The) President-Elect.
There have been several presidents that have not been elected as president. However, these men have all been elected as vice president, and became president on the death or exit of office of the president they served under. But only one was not elected as president or vice president. That was Gerald Rudolph Ford. He was not the vice president Richard Milhous Nixon was elected with, but appointed after Spiro Theodore Agnew left. Nixon was caught with The Watergate Scandal, and resigned before impeachment. Upon resignation, Gerald Rudolph Ford became preisdent.

Bush (43rd President) had been governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000.
