context_page_description: The Bush family is an American dynastic family that is prominent in the fields of politics, news, sports, entertainment, and business, founded by Obadiah Bush and Harriet Smith.
  Best known for its involvement in politics, the family has held various national and state offices spanning across four generations, including a U.S. Senator, Prescott Bush, a Governor, Jeb Bush, and two U.S. Presidents—one having also served as Vice President, George H. W. Bush, while the other was also a Governor, George W. Bush. Other family members include a National Football League executive, Joe Ellis, and two nationally known TV personalities, Billy Bush and Jenna Bush Hager.
  Peter Schweizer, author of a biography of the family, has described the Bushes as "the most successful political dynasty in American history". According to some online sources, the Bush family is of primarily English and German descent. The Bush family traces its European origin to the 17th century, with Samuel Bush being their first American-born ancestor, in 1647.
