Bush is the 43rd President and the act allows for a coin for each of Grover Cleveland&#039;s two non-consecutive terms), the series may not run that long. The act specifies that in order for a President to be honored, the former President must have been dead for at least two years prior to issue; the series will end when all the then-eligible Presidents have been honored. [8] If a President does not meet the requirements at the time he would be honored with a coin, then he would be skipped. The next President who served after him meeting the requirements will then be honored. Once the program has terminated, continuation of the series for non-honored Presidents will require another Act of Congress. [9]</p><p><br /></p><p>If Jimmy Carter lives until 2014, he will be skipped and Ronald Reagan will be the next honored. If all currently living Presidents survive to within two years of Reagan&#039;s coin, then his coin will end the program.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. 31 U.S.C. § 5112(n)(2)(E): “ No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President. </p><p>9.&nbsp;&nbsp; 31 U.S.C. § 5113(n)(8): “ The issuance of coins under this subsection shall terminate when each President has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E), and may not be resumed except by an Act of Congress. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there is always the chance they change the legislation. As usual anything is possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
