Jury duty for everyone....even the President!!

For most American citizens, jury duty is a pretty common thing. Only a few professions are allowed to skip jury duty, such as teachers, firefighters, and doctors. However, the President of the United States of America is not excused from the practice. While you think most Presidents would have a problem with this, George W. Bush said he doesn't mind.
Bush was summoned to duty in December in McLennan County, Texas, where his ranch is located. Bush, a.k.a. Juror No. 286, couldn't make it to the court that day because he was a little bit too busy, being the President and all. But Bush feels that jury duty is an impotant responsibilty, and has decided to reschedule a day to serve in the near future. The local judge has given Bush some slack, and the President can choose from several different approaching dates. The first of these oppurtunities is on January 30. Before Bush can attend jury duty, the proper security must be attained, to insure the President's safety in the small courtroom. This is not the first time Bush has served jury duty however, but the last time he served, he of course wasn't such a high-priority figure. At the time, in 1996, Bush was the governor of Texas, and served at the Travis County Courthouse in Austin. Bush truly doesn;t mind serving jury duty, and will probably be seen in the court in the coming months.
Relating to American history, the closest President to ever serve jury duty, besides George W. Bush, was Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was summoned during the 1980s in his home state of California, by the Santa Barbara County, California. Of course, Reagan did not serve the jury duty at the time, and was granted a deferment until he was out of office for a few years. Hopefully, George W. Bush will keep his word, and serve jury duty during his term.
