Proposed anti-political dynasty amendment
November 5th, 2016
A proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States:
No person who is a child, grandchild, sibling, parent, spouse, or former spouse of any present or former President of the United States shall be eligible to the Office of President. This article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative.
Despite what you may think, this is not motivated by any particular candidate or former President; just something I’ve been meaning to propose for a while.

I agree, and would add niece or nephew less than two generations removed from a present or former president.
