Does it merely seem like many – too many – recent U.S. presidents have had wackadoo brothers?

There was Bill Clinton's brother, Roger, who has had his own drinking problems, spent a year in jail for cocaine possession and brokered presidential pardons in the waning days of his brother's second term.
