Nixon alone was Scotch, Irish, Scotch-Irish, English, and German.
I have absolutely no idea why you would choose "English" in particular out of that mix as that only represents one eighth of his ancestry on his mother's side.
And you have similar stories for all of these. Grant was Scottish and English, I have no idea why you chose Scottish in particular here. Harding was English, Irish, Scottish and Dutch. FDR was also also largely French, but was also Swedish, Finnish and English. TR was Dutch, Scottish, French and English.
And the list goes on, and on, and on... several Presidents had Amerindian heritage, and Warren Harding might have been part African.
P.S. For the record, Obama is of most English heritage on his mother's side.
And for you conspiracy nuts out there, and those of you who are followers of obscure trends in Presidential elections, yes, Obama does have closer blood ties to the British Royal Family than McCain.
