The ancestral background of presidents of the United States has been relatively consistent throughout American history. With the exception of John F. Kennedy, Martin Van Buren, and perhaps Dwight D. Eisenhower, every president has ancestors from Great Britain, which in turn make many of them distantly related to one another. Kennedy was of pure Irish descent, Van Buren was of Dutch lineage; and Eisenhower was of German and Swiss heritage. Barack Obama is the only president to have recent ancestry from outside Western Europe; his paternal family is of the Luo people of East Africa.

  • The ancestral background of presidents of the United States has been relatively consistent throughout American history. With the exception of John F. Kennedy, Martin Van Buren, and perhaps Dwight D. Eisenhower, every president has ancestors from Great Britain, which in turn make many of them distantly related to one another. Kennedy was of pure Irish descent, Van Buren was of Dutch lineage; and Eisenhower was of German and Swiss heritage. Barack Obama is the only president to have recent ancestry from outside Western Europe; his paternal family is of the Luo people of East Africa. He is also believed to be a direct descendant of John Punch, a colonial-era slave born in modern-day Cameroon. Despite speculation, there is no evidence that any of America’s presidents have had any Indigenous American ancestry. The most common ethnic groups in the Thirteen Colonies were those hailing from either Great Britain or Northern Ireland. Those of other backgrounds (such as Irish, Dutch, German, or French) would see attempts to assimilate them into the dominant English and predominately Protestant culture. Some nativist political groups within the United States were adamantly opposed to identifying with a foreign nation and would coin those who did as hyphenated Americans. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were outspoken opponents of hyphenated Americans, with Wilson once remarking, "Any man who carries a hyphen about with him, carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic when he gets ready."

  • アメリカ合衆国大統領の先祖の背景（アメリカがっしゅうこくだいとうりょうのせんぞのはいけい、英: Ancestral background of presidents of the United States）は、アメリカ合衆国の歴史を通しておおむね一貫している。マーティン・ヴァン・ビューレンとドワイト・D・アイゼンハワー以外の全ての歴代大統領にはブリテン諸島出身の先祖がいる。ヴァン・ビューレンはオランダ人の血統、アイゼンハワーはドイツ人及びスイス人の血統であった。またバラク・オバマは唯一西ヨーロッパ以外からの祖先を持ち、父方の家系が東アフリカのルオ族である。 13植民地で最も一般的な民族グループはグレートブリテン王国やアイルランド島北部のアルスターの出身者であった。他の背景を持つ人々（オランダ人、ドイツ人、フランス人など）は支配的な英語と主なプロテスタントの文化に同化させようとする試みを目にすることとなる。 アメリカ内のいくつかの移民排斥主義の政治団体は外国との同一化に断固として反対し、そのような人々を「」と呼んだ。セオドア・ルーズベルト大統領とウッドロウ・ウィルソン大統領はハイフン付きアメリカ人には率直に反対した。ウィルソンはかつて「ハイフン付きの人は誰でも準備ができたらこの共和国の急所に飛び込む準備ができている短剣を持っている」と述べた。 (ja)
