Another Bush for president? George Snr wants second son Jeb to follow in his footsteps
Former President George H.W. Bush has said he wants his second son, Jeb, to become President of the United States some day.
Mr Bush Snr said the former Governor of Florida had all the qualifications to serve in the White House.
Jeb Bush, 55, is considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat representing Florida in 2010. The current incumbent, Republican Mel Martinez, has announced he is stepping down.

'I'd like to see him run. I'd like to see him be president one day, or senator, whatever, yes I would,' Mr Bush, who served as president from 1989-1993, told Fox News on Sunday.
He added: 'Right now is probably a bad time. We've had enough Bushes in there.'
Mr Bush and the current incumbent, George W. Bush, are the second father and son in U.S. history to serve as president. John Adams was the second president and his son, John Quincy Adams, the sixth.

No father has ever been followed by two sons into the White House.
George W. Bush will leave office on Jan. 20 with approval ratings hovering just below 30 percent in many polls, among the lowest of any president in history.
