george bush



#41 FACTS:

--In 1942, at 18 years old, Bush became the youngest aviator in the U.S. Navy at the time. He was the last WWII veteran to serve as President.

--Bush was one of three U.S. Presidents who served as a member of the Skull and Bones secret society at Yale University (William Howard Taft and George W. Bush are the others). Bush's Skull and Bones nickname was "Magog". Creepy.

--Bush became the first Vice President to become 'Acting President' when, on July 13, 1985, Ronald Reagan underwent surgery to remove polyps from his colon. Bush served as Acting President for approximately eight hours.

--In 1988 Bush became the first serving Vice President to be elected President since Martin Van Buren in 1836, as well as the first person to succeed someone from his own party to the Presidency via election to the office in his own right since Herbert Hoover in 1929.

--George Bush's sweat is a powerful natural hallucinogen.

I like his expression. I also like that you resisted the temptation to draw him vomiting. Well, I would have been tempted, if I could draw :).

He also has the uncanny ability to interrupt episodes of the Flash on CBS. An episode that I had to wait almost 20 years to finally see, thankfully the box set fixed that problem for me.
