Constitutional amendment would aim to prevent White House political dynasty
Raw Story Monday November 12, 2007
Conservative activist, Americans for Tax Reform founder and lobbyist Grover Norquist, reports The Sunday Times, is working on a constitutional amendment that would forbid succession of elected and appointed offices from one family member to another. Norquist seeks to warn the public, and create discourse, on the subject political dynasty and its increasing relevance in America's highest office.
The amendment would not apply to Sen. Hillary Clinton's run for the presidency in 2008, as the term is not immediately following that of her husband, and 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.
Were Senator Clinton elected to two terms as President, Bush and Clinton family members would have populated the White House for nearly 30 years.
