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.
Thankfully they did it wrong because we'd probably be stuck with Cackles now otherwise.
Just like everything else.
Did Doctor Jill play President? If she didn’t, then who did? Joe definitely wasn’t making decisions.
