Trump v Clinton: Proving that American left aristocracy behind hundreds of years ago

[SwimExpert]

Because who needs a country ruled by family connections?

Both the real estate tycoon and former Secretary of State are the direct descendants of 14th century 1st Duke of Lancaster John of Gaunt and his third wife Katherine Swynford, according to the ancestry site MyHeritage.com.

Clinton claims the lineage to her 18th great-grandparents through the Rodham family of her father's side while Trump is related to her through his mother Mary Anne Macleod, who was born in Scotland.

The common relative means that the Democrat and Republican are 19th cousins.

And George W. Bush is related to the Queen of England IIRC, as well as to Franklin Pierce, one of our worser (and drunker) POTUSes, through his mother Barbara Pierce.

None of that is as bad as O'bama's problem though -- he's related to The Dick Cheney.
