In fact, every US president is related to each other, at least by marriage.

Very interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of Americans share common New World ancestry.

Some more interesting facts!

• Various studies indicate that around 30% of American whites have African ancestry.
• The average African American has ~20% European ancestry.
• Senator James Shields represented Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri in Congress at different points in his career, the only person to represent three different states.
• Sam Houston: the only person to ever be Governor of two different states, as well as the only person who was a US Governor and a foreign head of state.
• The Soiled Dove Plea is one of the greated extemporaneous speeches ever made.
