I am aware of nothing that prevents a president from appointing a member of his family to a cabinet post. There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent it.

What are you referring to?

It's a law, passed shortly after LBJ was re-elected in 1964.

No family member of the president may occupy a cabinet post.
