Can George H.W. Bush run for his second term even though he's knighted by the Queen?

Bush Sr doesnt suffer from Alzheimers. He suffers from something else.

NO if you are knighted by the queen of any other country you cannot hold public office because it is seen as you submitting yourself to their laws or jurisdiction

You are incorrect.

The limitation is on federal officeholders only, and only for while they hold their office.

Private citizens are perfectly free to accept titles, gifts, etc. from foreign monarchs or govenments without Congressional consent.

Bush 41 was knighted in 1993, after he had left office. Thus, he accepted the title as a private citizen.
