A presidential health crisis that ultimately resulted in the first lady of the United States wielding extraordinary power while covering up the president’s condition began in Pueblo more than a century ago.
That crisis and the ensuing cover-up have similarities to today’s controversy regarding the physical and mental abilities of President Joe Biden.
President Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912 largely due to the split within the Republican Party when former President Theodore Roosevelt ran on the Progressive Party ticket against Wilson and incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft. Narrowly reelected in 1916, Wilson was only the second Democrat to be elected since the Civil War. Although elected as a reformer, he segregated the federal workforce after decades of desegregation.
President Wilson’s first wife, Ellen, died in 1914 and he married Edith in 1915.

I'm a history buff, it's deja vu all over again.
Edith Wilson found herself in charted waters. No one knew how to handle an incapacitated president. With no rules, you couldn’t do it “right”, but you also couldn’t do it “wrong”. So she played president because no one said she couldn’t.
But then we got the 25th Amendment. To quote The Big Lebowski: “This is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.” Jill Biden violated the Constitution. Unelected family members don’t get to play president. There is a “right” way to handle this situation, and (of course) the Bidens did it wrong.
Umm-hmm.
The first time helped cause WW2, we have yet to see the full results of the second.
This article is why the GOP are losers. Jill wasn’t accomplished.
Jill parlayed a babysitting gig to POTUS! Not bad!
I would have said Imelda Marcos.
Yep. Be watching for Dr Jill, run for president in 2028 as a grieving widow.
Thankfully they did it wrong because we'd probably be stuck with Cackles now otherwise.
Just like everything else.
Follow them all the way to the grave Jill
“Dr” Jill Hitlery and Big Mike are nothing but gold diggers.
Did Doctor Jill play President? If she didn’t, then who did? Joe definitely wasn’t making decisions.
She is getting flooded with hate on X today. We may not ever see her again.
It was a rather self centered decision.
Wonder if Jill knows where Hunter and Joey stashed the cash and gold?.
Jill is garbage
Worst first lady Ever
As a human she is gutter trash
It's close, Hillary was pretty bad.
Worse than hildebeast?
Who cares?
