The Lady Doth Too Much

The Lady Doth Too Much Opinion The Harvard Crimson
"Given her unelected status, it is inexplicable that the president’s wife needs her own press secretary, her own chief of staff, or her own staff at all, let alone an agenda for them to implement.

While the First Lady wields no formally-mandated power, the institutionalization of her office confers upon her a degree of influence that no unelected or unappointed citizen ought to have.

A candidate’s spouse does not “run” for First Lady.

In fact, we are frequently urged to keep a presidential candidate’s family off limits and collectively tut whenever anyone is so boorish as to violate this unwritten compact."

This brilliant kid must already have a job in place.....
