Hi! I'm not sure how plausible this is, but suppose the Constitution had the following provisions in it for preventing an aristocracy in the United States:

1. If your parent, sibling, uncle/aunt, grandparent, or great-grandparent was a President, you're not eligible for the presidency.
2. If your parent, sibling, or uncle/aunt was a governor or congressman, you can't run for that office.
3. If your parent or sibling was a mayor, you can't be a mayor for that city.

What happens? I get the distinct impression (among other things) John Quincy Adams has a problem.
