If a you must be native born to run to president, then why can the first lady be foreign born..? Because there is nothing in the Constitution that forbids it.

First Ladies were simply the wives of Presidents when the paperwork was written and as such, hostess of his home and State Hostess. The term First Lady came exclusively with Hillary. It has no official standing as a title.
Prior to that it was a term used sometimes, sometimes not.

Ummm.. it was more of a rhetorical question, designed to make you think.

Probably because that at the time the Constitution was written & ratified, women couldn't even vote.
