Dear Guest:
You forgot to add that Congress passed a separate law in 1978 that "presidents have total discretion in White House hiring". so the issue isn't clear?
You also failed to mention that Obama hired Valerie Jarrett as his senior adviser and while a close friend for years and not a relative White House aides resented her access. Her ideology leanings were in question but that is a topic for another discussion.
Nepotism cuts both ways. It was alleged that JFK was elected because the mob campaigned on his behalf. However, it did not stop RFK from going after mob figures.
Personally I prefer leaders shy away from this practice. However, I can see with so many people around this nation gunning for Trump why he would want to close his circle where he can.
Personal Best Regards:
