Its just a suggestion...

By any measurement, George W. Bush has been an awful president. The argument may rage as to whether he has been worse than Buchanan, but “not as bad as the president who led us into Civil War” is the very definition of what is known as “damning with Faint Praise”...

Enumerating the colossal failures of George W. Bush would be a task too immense for this post. Indeed, a full recounting may take more time than any one writer could invest. Nonetheless, such awfulness must be punished. As far as I know, George Bush’s malgovernance falls a single hydrogen atom’s thickness short of an impeachable offense. Our Constitution must be respected, lest we commit similar offenses as the man who is redefining the presidency to suit his own whim. At the same time, a censure is meaningless...

Thus, I propose that congress pass a bill which, upon his leaving office, will strip from George W. Bush every legal benefit to which EX presidents are normally entitled. He would be responsible for his own medical care. He would not have a taxpayer-provided stipend. His secret service protection would end with his presidency; he would have to pay for his own presidential library. Bush has been called “the first CEO President”. Let him receive the anvil parachute his tenure has earned him...

I think letting Bush get shot would be more trouble than it's worth. Let him keep the Secret Service.
