Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and expected 2016 Republican contender, has been elected the chairman of the National Constitution Center’s board of trustees, the group announced Thursday. Bush said in a release:
“I am honored to have this opportunity and am humbled to follow in the footsteps of my beloved father, President George H.W. Bush, who first exemplified to me what it means to be a good citizen and to uphold the ideals expressed within the U.S. Constitution,” said Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida from 1999-2007. “The National Constitution Center’s mission to improve civic education and engagement and inspire active citizenship is filling a critical void in our country. I will do my best to advance the Center’s mission and continue the vision set forth by President Clinton’s leadership these last three years.”
