The milestone comes as Bush faces a series of sexual harassment allegations as eight women have come forward in the past month alleging that he had groped them at various events dating back to the 1992 presidential campaign.

Bush’s spokesman Jim McGrath responded to the first of these allegations by explaining that the president is wheelchair-bound and makes a joke to put people at ease because his arm cannot reach higher than the lower waist of the people with whom he is posing for photographs.
