Is the Bush family the most influential and powerful family in American history? If not, would Jeb Bush wining the upcoming presidential election propel this family to the top of the list?
Does the Bush family outrank the Adamses, Roosevelts, Kennedys, or even the Rockefellers? Keep an open mind politics is not the only measure of power and influence, if not the Bush family who and why?

I don't think that they are the most powerful in history but they maybe the most powerful at the moment. You can't deny the legacy of two Presidents and many other political positions and accomplishments that have been made for the last 25 years but the Bush legacy goes back further than that. There are over 4 generations of Yale graduates dating back to the mid 1800's. President H.W Bush's father Prescott Bush served in the military during WWI and then was also a senator.

Nah, they're not rich enough. Money's influence on everything's hard to overestimate. The better funded candidate wins 95% of the time. And that's just politics.

Personal feelings aside, they are certainly ranked high, particularly over the last 25-30 years.
