Hillary Clinton claims if elected she will be the first female president…but she won’t
Check this info!
In October 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a massive stroke leaving him paralyzed and unable to perform his duties. Before 1967, the constitution did not specify how to act in an event where the President was incapacitated, so First Lady Edith Wilson effectively acted as de facto President of the United States for 17 months in order to keep Vice President Thomas R. Marshall from assuming his duties, whom she felt was incapable of being President.
Just Saying!!! Thanks to a reader for passing along this information!
Sorry, Sue. Woodrow Wilson’s wife was not named an official anything when Wilson had his stroke.
She merely relayed messages, helped him with correspondence, etc., for about 15 months while he
recovered. The country was said to be left “rudderless” while he was ill. His wife in no way was
qualified to be called “president” or anything else other than his wife. Hillary will most certainly have
the title of “first woman president of the U.S.” if she gets elected.
Thanks so much for the correction. I am always amazed at what is on the internet and not truly documented.
