Trivia: George W. Bush is a distant cousin of which other modern President?
Ronald Reagan
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
The correct answer is Barack Obama
So why is this answer correct? : It’s a far-reaching connection, but both the 43rd and 44th U.S. Presidents can trace their family lineage back to a couple named Samuel and Sarah Hinckley, who lived in Massachusetts in the 17th century. Barack Obama is also in the same family tree as the 33rd President, Harry Truman, and George W. Bush is a ninth cousin of his Vice President, Dick Cheney.
