George Bush takes ALS ice bucket challenge, nominates Bill Clinton (VIDEO)

President George W. Bush is the latest to jump on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge bandwagon.

In a video published on his Facebook page on Wednesday, Bush is seen writing out a check in lieu of taking a bucket of icy water to the face.

With the help of his wife and daughter, W. was doused with ice water to raise money for ALS research and now he wants Bill Clinton wants follow suit.

Bush's daughter, "Today" show correspondent Jenna Bush Hager, staged the stunt with her mom, Laura Bush, giving Bush an icy baptism on the NBC show Wednesday morning.

"To you all who challenged me, I do not think it's presidential for me to be splashed with ice water, so I'm simply going to write you a check," he says, taking a cue from President Barack Obama-although wife Laura Bush had a better idea.

President Clinton's has not yet responded to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

The viral ice bucket challenge is in order to promote awareness and raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.  It has raised $31.5 million for the nonprofit ALS Association since July 29, according to the group. That compares with $1.9 million in the same time period last year.

Scores of celebrities, including Rob Ford, Bill Gates and multiple Hollywood stars, have also taken the challenge.
