Many countries had blood laws ie many Catholic countries required any person holding ANY elective or political office to prove that they were pure Catholic for the previous 4 generations. I think that would be a good idea here in the US. We are not likely to take advantage of our own. What do you think?

I think it is as bad an idea as thinking that a person will make a good leader simply because they are of a "royal" bloodline.

Bllod laws are completely un-American and antithetical to who we are and what we believe in ., Your assumption that political corruption is bad is naive and in error.
Used judiciously political corruption is a tool that is capable of getting great things done and history bears that out.

I think that's been tried elsewhere.....say, German circa 1930's and 1940's?
What was it....if you had a Jewish grandparent, you were considered "tainted" and couldn't hold any office of responsibility?
Here's a better idea: Why not vote people into office that aren't professional politicians?

Great. Melting pot into part shards.
I don't support that. It's un-American.
