Thank goodness the donjohn doesn't have 15 children! Nepotistically speaking what other prez conferred such power on so many relatives?

JfK appointed brother Bobby to be his Attorney General
Mrs. Wilson took over (allegedly) for his husband when he was incapacitated.
Nancy handled thinks for Ronnie behind the scenes and wielded much influence with him
FDR had his wife Eleanor who was a treasure but held no government job
Bill Clinton had Hillary around.  She was a visible First Lady but effectively did nothing

What other presidents besides doofus don employed (whether for money or for free) relatives/friends/ absurdly obtuse incompetents to jobs that require intelligence/experience/education?
