I was thinking today about the two months that Bush has left in office, and wondering what he will do next. Honestly, I don't really care. He won't be president anymore, and that's good enough for me. But, what do presidents do after leaving the White House? If you think about it, they work in politics, initially under the guise of being public servants to upload the laws of our great nation, in various political offices- Governor, Senator, Representative, etc. I guess if all you're doing is working your way up the ladder, you wouldn't want to go back to being a Governor after being President. Theoretically, that should be enough though, if what you want to do is to look out for the people in your country, or in that case, state. Not that Bush would have much of a chance getting elected to anything now.
But I wonder what have other presidents done? Have any continued to seek public office? I believe Clinton became an ambassador of sorts. Is that the norm? Is it below them to seek a Congressional position after being the leader of the free world?
I might have to look into this. I think it really shows what that leader's motivations truly are to see what they choose to do after holding the highest position in our country.
