#3 This is exactly the kind of unimportant but pleasurable diplomatic assignment that spouses of heads of state are perfect for.

It's what Vice Presidents are for and also going to funerals for foreign heads of state and dignitaries. Guess those running the country think Jill is more competent at playing the role than the VP. They need to quickly fall back to the old play book in which they removed Agnew before they went after Nixon.

#12 First Lady Wilson pretty much ran the Presidency 100 years ago.

Which was vastly easier a 100 years ago when most federal laws and regulations could probably fit in one average size library stack. It was a time when the feds didn't stick their fingers into everyone eyes and business. A time when Congress could actually pass all appropriations during the fiscal year and didn't run the printing presses day and night infinitum.

#14 An area of history I'm not up to speed on, but let me guess: Edith Wilson did less harm than her husband.
