| Description | The state representative, Rod Driver, also included former Vice President Dick Cheney and ex-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in his offer. He sent letters to all three.
Mr Bush's administration allowed the interrogation technique, which simulates drowning, to be used on terror suspects. Mr Driver says that, if the former president is so confident it is not torture, he should try it for himself.
His offer was first reported on Thursday in The Westerly Sun.
A spokesman for Mr Bush did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Mr Cheney has defended waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods, saying they yielded important information.
The offer came as Mr Cheney accused Barack Obama of putting American lives at risk in a disdainful broadside just minutes after the president gave an impassioned defence of his anti-terror policies.
