"Dingell's district was first in western Detroit, but redistricting has successively moved him further into the city's western suburbs.[citation needed] Since 2013, he has represented Michigan's 12th congressional district."
"Dingell was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the son of Grace (née Bigler) and John D. Dingell, Sr. (1894–1955), who represented Michigan's 15th district from 1933 to 1955."
"In 1955, John, Sr. died and John, Jr. won a special election to succeed him. He won a full term in 1956 and has been reelected 29 times, including runs in 1988 and 2006 with no Republican opponent."

I propose a Constitutional amendment that bars a relative from filling any elective office vacated by the death, infirmity or removal of an office holder until after a non-relative has served the remainder of that term plus another full term subsequent to the vacancy.
