George Prescott Bush (born April 24, 1976 in Texas) is the eldest of three children of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his wife Columba Garnica Gallo who was born in Mexico. He is the nephew of President George W. Bush, and the grandson of President George H. W. Bush.

At the age of 12, Bush spoke before the 1988 Republican National Convention, which nominated his grandfather.

People magazine ranked P, No. 5 on its list of 100 most eligible bachelors in 2000.

P went to high school with popular musical artist Enrique Iglesias at Gulliver Preparatory School in Miami. He earned an undergraduate degree in history from Rice in 1998, and earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Texas School of Law in 2003.

Like grandpa and uncle at Yale, P was a freshman walk-on to the Rice University baseball team but unlike grandpa and uncle, he got little playing time and abandoned the game by his sophomore year. Bush played quarterback for the Jones College intramural football team. Bush earned an undergraduate degree from Rice in 1998, After earning his history degree, George P. took a teaching job in an agricultural community south of Miami. He earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Texas School of Law in 2003.

When asked in 2003 about whether he planned to run for office himself, P. replied that his grandmother, Barbara Bush, had advised that anyone thinking about entering politics should distinguish himself in some other field first: "Make a name for yourself, have a family, marry someone great, have some kids, buy a house, pay taxes, and do the things everyone also does instead of just running out and saying, 'Hey, I'm the nephew of or the son of or the grandson of...'."
Amanda BushP married a law school classmate, Amanda "Mandi" Williams, on August 7, 2004 in Kennebunkport, Maine, the Bush family gathered to attend his wedding at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church near Walker’s Point. P. met Williams in a trial advocacy class at the University of Texas at Austin Law School.
He sat behind her and passed notes during class, asking her if she wanted to join him in a round of golf. P. says he wants to "start a family as soon as possible," Amanda is a media law attorney at the Jackson Walker LLP in Fort Worth. They currently live in Austin, Texas.

During the 2004 campaign, he was a clerk for a federal judge; the Hatch Act prevented him from getting involved until the final months.

On March 21, 2007 the United States Navy Reserve announced the selection of George P. for training as an intelligence officer. Once commissioned as an Ensign for eight years of reserve service, he will attend direct commission officer training, and then undergo a year of intelligence training. "My grandfather's my hero, and what really sold me on the ultimate decision was having the chance to see the CVN-77 be commissioned under his name," refering to the aircraft carrier named for his grandfather -- the USS George H.W. Bush.

P. said the death of Pat Tillman, the NFL player and Army Ranger who was killed in Afghanistan in 2004 in what was later determined to be a friendly-fire incident, "was a wake-up call for me." He said he had "looked into active duty" and had somber conversations with his wife about the possibility.

The commitment involves two weeks of annual training. He can volunteer for active duty or be deployed after he finishes his intelligence certification, which takes about two years. He'll have to run a mile and a half in 13 minutes, which he said he can do now, but he's trying to get down to the 10 minutes and 30 seconds required for SEALs and special operations. He's also a weightlifter as well as golfer.
