Spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement, "His doctors report he is doing well and is happy to return home."

Senior Bush was the president from 1989-1993. He was admitted a year ago to the same hospital in Houston. He then complained of cough that was later diagnosed as pneumonia.

He is the father of former Republican President George W Bush who served from 2001 to 2009 and Jeb Bush, who unsuccessfully sought the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
