Political family

Members may be related by blood or marriage; often several generations or multiple siblings may be involved.

A family dictatorship is a form of hereditary dictatorship that operates much like an absolute monarchy, yet occurs in a nominally non-monarchic state.

Several presidential families produced multiple generations of members who devoted at least part of their working lives to public service.

Two other presidents were related by blood: James Madison and Zachary Taylor were second cousins.

Hoping to prevent political dynasties, the Indonesian parliament, which represents the third largest democracy in the world, passed a law barring anyone holding a major office within five years of a relative.
