President George H. W. Bush, Jenna Bush Hager's grandfather, was a decorated military man and representative to Congress. And yes, after serving two terms as vice president under President Reagan, he became the 41st president of the United States in 1989, when Jenna was just eight years old. His father before him, Prescott Bush, was also in politics, serving as a senator in Connecticut in 1952. In 2020, Jenna opened up to co-host Hoda Kotb on "Today," sharing a list of rules to live by that her grandfather shared with her. She remembered fondly, "[T]hey're all really good ones, like, 'Don't talk all the time. Listen to your mentors and friends and learn from them.'"
Jenna's father, President George W. Bush, would continue the political legacy of the family, taking the helm just before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This was only the second time in American history that the son of a president was elected to be commander in chief. Jenna told Kotb in 2021 that she had a relatively normal childhood even though her grandparents were in the White House, and when her father took the presidency, he wanted to maintain that as much as possible.
Jeb Bush, Jenna's uncle and the only other child of George H.W. to enter politics, was the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007.
