President George W. Bush was called to jury duty in Texas. The President is still on the jury list in Crawford, TX which is in McLennan County. Being the leader of the free world makes his job too important to serve and he will be exempt from serving.

“I don’t think I’ll be sending the sheriff out to bring the president in,” said Strother, a Republican who has a grandson serving in Iraq. “It seems to me that the president has plenty of things to occupy his attention. Jury duty is a very important civic function, but running the country, I think, especially in wartime, takes priority over jury service.”
