WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will renew a quest in his second  
term for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage as  
essential to a ``hopeful and decent'' society, his top political aide  
said on Sunday.

Bush's call for a constitutional ban on gay marriages failed last year  
in Congress, but his position was seen as a key factor motivating  
Christian conservatives concerned about ``moral values'' to turn out in  
large numbers and help supply Bush with a winning margin in last week's  
election.

``If we want to have a hopeful and decent society, we ought to aim for  
the ideal, and the ideal is that marriage ought to be, and should be, a  
union of a man and a woman,'' Bush political aide
