According to a new book wriiten by former President George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush seriously considered not running for re-election in 1992, even though he loved his job.
George W. Bush in his book, "41: A Portrait of my Father", examined his dad's presidency.
The Associated Press purchased an advance copy of the biography that's scheduled to hit shelves on Tuesday.
Bush writes that his father pondered in 1991 not running because he felt his role was creating undue scrutiny of his son, Neil Bush, who was facing a federal lawsuit.
Bush says his father also hesitated because he had developed an irregular heartbeat and was exhausted.
George H.W. Bush lost his re-election bid to Democrat Bill Clinton.
