I'm not sure what purpose it would serve, but it could be something to expand upon in the future. I'd like to see more discussion of this.
    If we are going to consider polling the family tree, then what about weighting the votes? As TF pointed out, not all family tree members are created equal.

    Emperor - 4 votes
    Caesar - 3 votes
    natural born sons - 2 votes
    every one else - 1 vote

    Also what this does, is allow the potential for votes going quick. Once there is a majority of the possible votes, the decision is made. So, if the Emperor and/or Caesar are active players, then they can make a decision almost by themselves. Since they would most likely be a high percentage of the votes, until later in the game when the tree is bigger, they would have a huge say in the decision, as well as make sure the voting is over fairly quickly.

    This also makes the family tree more nuanced, which some wished for back in the rules discussion phase.
