dynasty...

Main Entry: dy·nas·ty Pronunciation: \ˈdī-nə-stē also -ˌnas-tē, especially British ˈdi-nə-stē\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural dy·nas·ties Date: 14th century 1 : a succession of rulers of the same line of descent 2 : a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time Source Your mother is a house representative. Your 2 brothers are also house representatives. Your uncle is also a house representative. Can we call that political dynasty? The 1987 Constitution has a provision that the State shall prohibit political dynasties. But the constitution failed to define an implementing law on political dynasties. Now I wonder when will Congress pass one.
