If any one family has established a dynasty, it has been the Bushes; however, the Clintons are certainly in the running. No Kennedy since JFK has won the presidency, although Robert and Teddy both ran for the office.
Fortunately, America doesn't have a monarchy since usually the ruling family's worst traits come out over successive generations. Of course, many of the presidents and vice presidents are distant cousins to each other (even if they aren't aware of it).
According to Ancestry.com,
------George W. Bush is related to George Herbert Walker Bush, Franklin Pierce, James Garfield, Gerald Ford, and William Taft.
------Bill Clinton is similarly related to Benjamin Harrison, William H. Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Ronald Reagan, and Jackie Kennedy.
------Meanwhile, John F. Kennedy is distantly related to Benjamin Harrison, Martha Jefferson (married to Thomas Jefferson), Laura Bush, and Jimmy Carter.
------Jimmy Carter can claim kin to Benjamin Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Richard Nixon, Anna Harrison, Bess Truman, Lady Bird Johnson, Mary Taylor (married to Zachary Taylor), and JFK.

If the European precedent was to be taken, it would be the family of whoever it was who led the movement to establish the monarchy. If more than one family was involved, in seemingly equal terms regarding importance, they'd fight a Civil War and the victor's family would become the Royal Family.
