Could JFK appoint RFK as attorney general were he president today? Would ethics laws or rules against nepotism prohibit it?
I was wondering, could JFK appoint his brother, RFK, as attorney general if he were president today? Or would ethics laws or rules against nepotism prohibit it?
Interesting question. According to the US government's ethics rules and regulations, it is generally prohibited for a public official to appoint a relative to a position in the agency in which the official serves or over which he or she exercises authority. However, exceptions can be made in certain circumstances.
