Question

Answer 1

so what ? big deal.

Answer 2

just like i have my reasons justin,i say it is hillary.

she is elegant and speaks eloquently ,she is well educated and has been by her husbands side through the good and the bad.she gave up her career to fulfill her husbands dreams and what has she gotten in return?humiliation,grief,disrespect from the man that she trusted the most????????????????people ,do not judge her by her husbands actions,she is an admirable woman who now does what she wants on her terms because of the disrespect  that she has been shown.she is a caring woman who has  our best interests at heart.

Answer 3

None of them.  You have to have royal blood to be considered royalty.  The queen's brothers and sisters and kids, her kids and grandkids are the line of royal blood.  Until another marries and has kids there are no more.

Answer 4

Barack Obama narrowly edges out John McCain in his claim to royal ancestry.  According to one unverified blog I've come across, the hesperos.blogspot.com, Senator Obama is a direct descendant of both William I of Scotland (1198-1249) and Henry II of England (1133-1189) while Senator McCain is also a direct descendant of William I of Scotland. Hilary Rodham Clinton apparently has no direct royal antecedents, although she is a 10th cousin of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (Prince Charles' 2nd wife).  

Elsewhere, I've discovered that Senator Obama and President George W. Bush are 11th cousins while Obama and Vice President d**k Cheney are 9th cousins, once removed.  Lynne Cheney publicized her husband's kinship with Obama in October 2007.  Obama, incidentally, is an American of Kenyan, English, Scottish, Irish, French, German, and Dutch descent.

Answer 5

None.  The royal family is a long lineage of British,  and are not all of these people Americans?  Why would you want to take away their American heritage?   And who cares?

Answer 6

I don't know out of the three front runners for 2008, but I remember reading a Time or Newsweek article in 2004 about how GW Bush and John Kerry were 1) distantly related to each other, and 2) also distantly related to British royalty.

Answer 7

ok, Nixon, Carter, Bush, and Reagon (and, I think Clinton, also) are distant cousins of George lll. The mormon church presents every president their family tree. you can google and get the info.
