For a seemingly hopeless battle, the solution to all of these problems is simple. The only weapon they have against us is keeping the knowledge of our true nature from Us

This is a list of presidents of royal descent. Note that since all of these Presidents are related to English or Scottish monarchs, they are also all related to each other, through very distantly. Also note that the ancestry is from the most recent royal ancestor through their younger children who did not receive royal title or whose patents of nobility were not passed on because of rules of primogenitue.
George Washington (descendant of Edward III of England)
Thomas Jefferson (descendant of Henry I of England)
James Madison (descendant of Edward I of England)
John Quincy Adams (descendant of Edward II of England)
William Henry Harrison and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison (descendants of Edward I of England)
Zachary Taylor (descendant of Edward I of England)
Franklin Pierce (descendant of Henry I of England)
Rutheford Hayes (descendant of David I of Scotland)
Grover Cleveland (descendant of Edward I of England)
Theodore Roosevelt (descendant of Edward III of England)
William Taft (descendant of Edward I of England)
Warren Harding (descendant of Ethelred II of England)
Calvin Coolidge (descendant of Henry II of England)
Herbert Hoover (descendant of John of England)
Franklin Roosevelt (descendant of Edward III of England)
Richard Nixon (descendant of Edward I of England)
Gerald Ford (descendant of Edward I of England)
George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush (descendants of Edward I of England)
Barack Obama (descendant of Edward I of England and William the Lion of Scotland)
As a result, all of the listed people are direct descendants of Alfred the Great. All but two of them are also descended from William I of England with the exceptions of Rutherford Hayes and Warren Harding. It should be noted that all of these royal ancestors were born before the Black Death killed much of population of Britain in 1349.
In addition, HM Queen Elizabeth II is among the closest living relatives of George
Bush Family connections to other prominent families

George W. Bush and Barack Obama (once removed)
This list above includes the closer, more significant relationships. Family trees, particularly those in a limited geographic area, tend to converge relatively rapidly and many family tree going back ten generations or more will connect to more than one dozen U.S. Presidents, if all female ancestors and their descendants are traced. This is why, for example, it is not mentioned that through Robert Wyngate of Sharpenhoe, Bedfordshire, J.Q. Adams and W.H. Harrison are eighth cousins.
There are also numerous relationships by marriage which are not presented. For example, Richard Nixon was the father-in-law of Dwight Eisenhower’s grandson. George Washington’s half aunt married James Madison’s half first cousin once removed. Woodrow Wilson married (as his second wife) the great-great-great-niece of Thomas Jefferson.
