Can anyone show me proof that the person with the closest blood ties to the royal family always wins presidecy

Question

and also could you tell me if mccain or obama has closer blood ties

Answer 1

Mind explaining how this has any bearing?

France elected a Hungarian Jew with no kinship at all to our royal family... his ex wife might have some better ones if the Albenizes are any kin to the Spanish royals...

Now, where'll you find any blood ties between Americans and the british royals? because, by that principle, seeing as JFK was an Irish Catholic, it's obvious Nixon should have won back in '60.

Answer 2

there is no blood links between the royal family and any president especially obama or what ever his name is

Answer 3

Don't know what you are talking about what has McCain and Obama got to do with the royal family, maybe the answers will get better as you go through the day.

Answer 4

dont know but i hope you get some good answers

Answer 5

Which royal family?

Answer 6

Since a lot of Presidents come from famillies whose ancestors immigrated to the United States during the colonial era, their forebearers have had plenty of time to mix with different ethnic groups, even though one ancestry may appear to dominate.  Because of this, a good many Presidents can trace their family trees back to a very distant past and various European rulers as well as each other.  However, a quick, but discriminating, google on the Internet comes up with  no evidence to indicate that the candidate with the closest ties to European royalty always wins.  

Some presidents, quite frankly, don't have any ties to royalty.  A quick web search as well as pulling up both Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy on Ancestry.com reveals that at a cursory glance neither man is descended from European royalty.  They both, however, can claim descent from the Mayflower Pilgrims:  Nixon is the 10th great grandchild of Stephen Hopkins while Kennedy is a direct descendant of Christopher Martin (through Rose Fitzgerald).  Interestingly enough, Nixon is also a 2nd cousin, 12 times removed, to Niccolo Machiavelli, a line that runs through the Medicis.

Perhaps the recent Presidents with the closest ties to royalty are the Bushes; both of whom are descendants of Edward I of England while George W. descends from Afonso I of Portugal (through his mother, Barbara Pierce Bush).  Of course, perhaps the most patrician of the Presidents, Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, are descendants of Edward III of England.  

Both Barack Obama and John McCain trace their lineage back to William I of Scotland through Isabella, an illegitimate daughter to William the Lion.  Obama is also descended from Henry II of England.  The truth is that half of all  Americans, along with most of their European counterparts, can trace their descent back to William the Conqueror and Charlemagne, or for that matter, their stable boys and scullery maids.  All it took, statistically at least, is surviving the Bubonic Plague.

Word of Caution:  Disregard the stuff put out by "David Ickle, beware of the Reptilian, Illuminati conspiracy" type web sites.
