The Grandfather Clause was part of the American South's post-Civil War attempt to stop black people from voting. In order to vote, you had to pay a poll tax (most blacks couldn't afford it), and pass a literacy test which is impossible to pass.
But, what about poor, illiterate whites? They can vote, thanks to the Grandfather Clause, it basically said that if your grandfather could vote (for black people, their grandparents were generally slaves, and therefore couldn't vote), you could vote without needing to pay the tax or pass the test.

Is there such thing as being grandfather in?
The phrase "to be grandfathered" or "to be grandfathered in" means to be permitted to continue performing an activity or holding a position without being required to meet requirements that were put in place after you began doing that activity or holding that position. For example, if you have been a framis inspector for 20 years, and new requirements have just been put in place that all framis inspectors must hold a graduate degree in framis assessment, the regulation may include a provision that those who have been framis inspectors for 8 or more years do not need to have that graduate degree. Then you can continue to be a framis inspector even though you don't have a college degree at all. That is called "being grandfathered in."
