Why are the taxpayers paying to fly the First Lady anywhere? She is not a government employee.

“Why are the taxpayers paying to fly the First Lady anywhere?”

There needs to be legislation against this.

There may be a legal provision to allow it when she represents the President on ceremonial or other public relations purposes. When traveling on AF1 for personal reasons, the President and his guests are supposed to pay first class airfare. But there's always some official reason for the president to travel, isn't there?
