The measure of a president, to the Spanish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bushel

'the measure' is the definition.
(bushel is a kind of measure)

'president to the spanish' is the wordplay.
'president' becomes 'bush' (George H W Bush or George W Bush).
'to the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'bush'+'el'='BUSHEL'

'of a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bushel that I've seen before include "Four pecks" , "Old grain measure" , "Old measure of capacity" , "Obsolete measure (equal to 8 gallons)" , "Dry measure of eight gallons" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
