Are all U.S. presidents descended from King John?

Millions of people have heard that almost all American Presidents are related to each other and descendants of one English king. Is that true? What does this claim say about our understanding of kinship, power and genealogy?

23 presidents is still practically half of the presidents!

So England still 'OWNS THE WORLD'

Great content! Thank you!

If even 3 or 4 are related, something is wrong. Seems like a club none of us are in
-
A lot of us descend from King John and through multiple Puritans. It's not surprising.

This was well put together! 🌹

Around the 10 minute mark, the voice-over suddenly gets really quiet but the background music stays the same. But other than that great video! Edit: Also, what's up with the creepy "reflection"? Is it some kind of watermark?

I do not believe Franklin Pierce had proven royal ancestry. Are you sure this was fact-checked? Also, this has nothing to do with royalty, but I remember finding a line on the Genealogy website which appeared to lead from President Reagan back to a Mayflower passenger. No other source has backed this up. This supposed line contradicts his Irish roots. I am very skeptical.

6:06 not always sir. right? I am talking about "Salic Law". Wiki: "The rights of family members were defined: for example, the equal division of land among all living male heirs, in contrast to primogeniture." Take a look at the son of Charlemagne. WHen he died the kingdom was divided and made into 3 kingdoms. Every son got a part.

People just don’t do their history still and it is a reason why people who do can and will manipulate people who don’t It’s easier to control humans when they don’t understand their own history or even the concept that our history is fragmented and merely our best renderings of what happened based of what we have

The most incredible part of this subject is how they can and are able to prove this is not true, by showing how their lineage isn't connected... Most of us peasants would probably have a hard time going back more than 4 gens. How special are all these people that they keep a track back of their bloodline that far back.... 🤨
