There were according scandals in the poast that led to thge fcorming of said laws, the names to be mentioned are Kennedy, and I think Nixon.
And by all sane reason - it should be illegal indeed! Its pure nepotism, plain and simple.

Our definition of nepotism in this country is usually defined when a family member is shown
favoritism and or is
unfairly appointed or selected over another more qualified person for a job or position in the company or government.
If Trump can show that his son inlaw is the best person for the job and is appointed within the confines of the law then it is for me a non issue. I trust those people whose job it is to ensure our government functions within the scope of the law will do their job. I also trust the President elect will abide by those laws as well.
