Answer 1

This: ?

$('#clone').click(function() {
   var consClone = $('#cons').clone();

   // now depends where you would like to put the copy 
   // of consClone to, for example, to the same table as the original #cons was:
   $('#cons').parent().append(consClone);   
});

Be warned though, it’s better to have one id in an entire document, one quick way is to use class instead of id for cons
