That’s an interesting topic. Probably works for Senators too.

In a similar site talking about how many military wives have taken over the rank of their dead husband? How many business executives at places like Lockheed have had their position filled by their wife? How many dead airline pilots have their place in the cockpit taken by their Widow? Tells you all you need to know about DC

Cindy McCain is not a political animal. AND she'll never fill out a financial disclosure form.
She has a prenup with John.,

All of which were 150 years or more after the founding of the nation.
And all of which appointments were wrong. If they get elected, then that’s different. That one’s on the voters.

What? There is a process of succession? Are you kidding me? Why have I never heard of this before? Duh!!
I thought we dumped the concept of Royalty in 1776.

Yeah, that’s kinda scary. Of course, McCain probably wanted to do that with Russia, anyways.

Make sure we add Hillary to that list. She never would have been a senator if not for her HINO becoming president. She never would have won a senate seat on her own merits.
I'm currently reading Larry Schweikart's "Patriot's History of the United States" and I haven't got to the section yet where our Founding Fathers intended for wives to succeed their husbands in political office. I'll ping him here in case I missed it.
