Would you vote for a Constitutional Amendment forbidding more than one person per family from holding political office and limit that term of office to say 5 years?
(That means if a person was elected to office his or her spouse, parents, siblings, children or grand children, cousins, nieces or nephews)

I would have to see the details but I think it might be appropriate to break up a dynasty. Look at Mexico it is pretty much ran by a couple families.

No... why should we limit the cousins, children, grandchildren, etc of a politician for some stupid arbitrary rule???
5 Year term??? Hell, elected to the Senate gives you more than that.
This is a rediculous dream.

No. Why limit it? I mean, if there is a family out there with multiple members that are politically "talented", why should we limit them to only one member running and holding office? I know that we currently have a situation with not such a good (or a good - depending on your political affiliation) result, but that shouldn't color our view on this.

No, the constitution is a fine document as written and should not be tampered with, except under extreme circumstances.

No. Because, I believe an individual should stand or fall on their own merits. Not be punished or rewarded for what their family did.
