Alongside? This disrespectful tweet is a case for amending the anti-nepotism law to apply to White House -after OLC rev'd its 40yr precedent

Yes about Ivanka's tweet. But have u looked at history of anti-nepotism law? It was abt reps & senators hiring & family members. 1/

I thought Suckabee just yesterday said everyone's reporting now to Kelly?

And then after the law was enacted, congressmen still had family work for them – just w/o pay. IOW… 2/

Congress passed the law not to keep family away, but to keep gov't officials from enriching family members. 3/

So if you wanted anti-nepotism law to apply to a POTUS hiring his kids, you'd have to amend its text so it applies even to work… 4/

Which, if the law still applied equally to Hill & Exec Branch, wld mean congressmen cldn't have family mbrs volunteer in their offices.πŸ€” 5/

Next she'll be proffering the excuse that she's new at this, or that her assistant posted her tweet prematurely.

And making it unlawful for spouses & kids of representatives & senators to work as volunteers in their offices might be a problem. 6/6

We can't know what she intended, but it sends the message of a challenge to his authority, a warning not to pull rank on her or Jared K.

The anti-nepotism law was passed as a direct result of President JFKennedy selecting his brother, RFKennedy, as Attorney General.

Nope. That's the myth. Check the history. Among other things: It was enacted in Dec 1967. So if it was abt RFK, what explains the delay?

Politics. Legislative priorities, like Civil Rigjts, Vietnamese Conflict, et al.
