Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton: Candidates Are Related, According To Genealogists
MyHeritage.com's genealogy site Geni.com researched Donald and Hillary's families and found they are actually related through shared English ancestors.

Geni discovered the first Duke and Duchess of Lancaster are their 18th great grandparents. John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, married Katherine Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster, and John and Katherine are Donald and Hillary's shared 18th great grandparents. [...] "Their 19th great grandfather is King Edward III so there is precedent for ruling a country, it's in their genes..."

One more irony for the Tea Party... Jeb Bush is similarly related to  the British royals as well.
