How would this work, in a practical sense? The typical Civil War veteran, if he had any descendants at all, might now have several hundred. Who gets the medal? First to ask? Oldest surviving descendant? Youngest great-grandchild have precedence over oldest great-great-grandchild, or vice versa? Etc, etc., etc.? Seems like a lawyer's paradise in the making.
