31. I was thinking about this being as problematic as well.
We haven't gotten there yet but imagine say Laura Bush running as a way to extend her husbands stay in office for another 4 to 8 years thus creating a potential for the country being led by the same ideologies and people for 16 years, and hey why not a brother, a sister, a son a daughter. I think its anti-democratic and could lead to long dynasties. I would be in favor of an amendment banning the candidacy of any relative within a certain degree. The thing I worry about most is not the actual relatives themselves but they would bring the same people with the same ideas, like rumsfeld and cheney. I'm already concerned that the majority of my life this country has been run by the same 2 families, imagine if we brought it down to 1 family.
