Everyone in HOLLYWOOD is related??? LMAO!
Check this out:
Former First Lady Barbara Bush (née Pierce), the wife of George H.W. Bush (the 41st President of the United States) and the mother of George W. Bush (the 43rd President), is descended from a second cousin of Franklin Pierce (14th President).
Current President George W. Bush is related to other presidents as well as Pierce, who he is also related to on his father's side via Daniel Brewer. He is also a cousin of Fillmore (via Millards), Lincoln (via Gilmans), Grant (via Lathrops), Hayes (via Smiths, Footes, Parmelees, and Huckinses), Garfield (via Wheelers, Carpenters, Cookes, Warrens, Holbrooks and le Botelers), Cleveland (via Smiths and Stanleys), Benjamin Harrison (via Hortons), Theodore Roosevelt (via Schuylers), Taft (via Holbrooks, Thayers, Haywards, Cookes, Footes, Ravenses, and Waterses), Coolidge (via Phillipses, Hortons, Garnseys, Pulsiphers, Ravenses, Richardsons, Moores, Bulkeleys, and Morses), Hoover (via Brookses, Reades, Wheelers, and Richardsons), Franklin Roosevelt (via Beekmans, Hutchinsons, Popes, Jenneys, Richardses, Palgraves, Lathrops, and Howlands), Nixon (via Lippincotts, Footes, Traverses, Morses, and Howlands), and Ford (via Vanderburghs, Wheelers, Marvins, Gilmans, and Howlands).
And my favorite branch of this presidential family tree:
George W. Bush and his opponent in the 2004 U.S. Presidential election John Kerry share a common ancestor in Edmund Reade (1563-1623) and his wife Elizabeth Cooke. Bush and Kerry are 9th cousins, twice removed!!
I guess politics really do make strange bedfellows!

Yes! I agree with you on something, bound to happen sooner or later I suppose. I am heavily in favor of one term limit and out. Politicians should be average people striving to make things better for their constituents.
If Hillary Clinton is elected President and gets two terms in office, there will be people who have been born, graduated, married,had children and potentially grandchildren and all during that time the current President will have had either the last name Bush or Clinton. I somehow doubt our founding fathers had this in mind.

It's a fair point. It's not healthy for our democracy to have political dynasties. There are 300,000,000 people in this country. Are you really telling me that, just by coincidence, the most qualified presidential candidate happens to be the son of a previous president? Or wife? What an absolute joke.
