Former president bush says bush might be president Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2926290 http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2926290 Nov. 30, 2004, 11:32PM California governor honored Senior Bush suggests that Schwarzenegger could someday become president By CLAY ROBISON Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle COLLEGE STATION - Former President George H.W. Bush presented California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger an award for public service Tuesday and suggested the foreign-born, former action movie star could someday be elected president. "In regard to him ever being president of the United States, my advice to you Aggies and to any of those doubters, don't bet against Arnold Schwarzenegger," Bush told about 2,500 people attending the award ceremony at Texas A&M University. The former president didn't endorse Schwarzenegger for the nation's highest office. But he obliquely referred to recent discussions about amending the U.S. Constitution to allow a foreign-born citizen to be president. Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria, is ineligible for the White House. But Bush said people have been underestimating him during his entire career — as a bodybuilder, actor and now governor. Schwarzenegger tried to downplay the presidential speculation, but he said immigrants should have the opportunity to run for the office. "I like the opportunity," he replied, eliciting laughter, when an audience member said he didn't think immigrants should be given the opportunity to be president. "Of course, not because of me. I only have an interest to fix California," the governor added. "But I think that if someone lives here a period of time ... and votes and all that and makes good contributions to the country, I think someone should have the right to also run for president." The former president presented Schwarzenegger the 2004 George Bush Award for "excellence in public service" and praised the governor for his dreams and his perseverance. Previous recipients of the award include former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., the uncle of Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver.
