Where in the heck did that come from? And please tell me where the position of First Lady is mentioned in the Constitution, and how that is Constitutionally-mandated service, above and beyond the absurd notion that someone who served under a president cannot fill a vacancy from that president - review the presidential succession order, which includes cabinet members, and get back to me.
You could make a case that Hillary, having served two terms as "co-President", is no longer eligible to run. And it would be no less implausible than the "argument by pronoun".
Hold your fire...I'm just the messenger here.
Albright nor Kissinger couldn't become president.

I believe you completely misunderstood the author's point. It has nothing to do with being a First Lady or serving a President in any capicity (other than VP). The point the author is making is that if a woman can't be President, then neither can a woman be VP, since only people qualified to be President can serve as VP.
I find the author's opinion on the whole matter interesting. He may be right or he may be wrong. I'm disappointed in some of my fellow Freepers who have attacked this man so viciously for stating an opinion.
this IS interesting...because of Hilary's involvement with the Health care Task Force in 1994, whether or not she was actually a federal employee or not, wound up being litigated-and as I recall, it was determined that in her capacity as first lady, she was indeed a federal emplyee. As to whether or not this implies presidential appointment per se, I'll leave to Clintonian parsing-but I am sure it does.
Two-for-one. She was Co-President. 8 years and out.
