Will Hillary Clinton be the First Woman President for US?
I find it as likely as the moon crashing into the Earth next week.She won’t get the Electoral College votes. I suspect the final tally will be closer than the generally predicted around 306–232 for Trump.If she decides to run again in 2020,she will be older and perceived as “damaged goods”. No matter the reason, people don’t run again and win, especially after two previously failed serious attempts. I think her window has passed.It’s a brutal journey to run for president, I can’t see her putting herself and her family through that much angst and punishment again.The odds are very much against her, I think the US will have to look elsewhere for its first female president.
Was Edith Wilson really the first female president of the USA, not would-be Hillary Clinton, or are these narrators just a little too drunk?
Was Edith Wilson really the first female president of the USA, not would-be Hillary Clinton, or are these narrators just a little too drunk?Edith Bolling Wilson may have never been elected to any office, but she was indeed the de facto President of the United States. Her husband, Woodrow Wilson, had suffered a stoke in October of 1919 that left him partially paralyzed. She began screening everything that would be presented to her husband, who was now bed-ridden, and decided what was important enough for him to see.Wilson said, "I studied every paper sent from the different Secretaries or Senators," she wrote later of her role, "and tried to digest and present in tabloid form the things that, despite my vigilance, had to go to the President. I, myself, never made a single decision regarding the disposition of public affairs. The only decision that was mine was what was important and what was not, and the very important decision of when to present matters to my husband."She continued to do this until his second term expired in March, 1921. So for all intents, we had our first female President beginning in 1919 for close to 18 months.Source:Edith Wilson - Wikipedia
What is the best description for Woodrow Wilson's approach to foreign policy?
At first he wanted to keep America neutral and stay out of war. The National Defense Act of 1916 expanded the army and navy. In January 1917 Germany declared unrestricted submarine warfare. Wilson asked congress to declare war on Germany on April 2, 1917 and they did so 4 days later.

Why do they call every presidents wife the first lady?
From wikipedia: First Lady is an unofficial term that is applied to the female spouse of an elected male head of state or head of government. Development of the title is credited to the United States, where it was first used in 1849, when United States President Zachary Taylor called Dolley Madison, "First Lady" at her state funeral. Though "first lady" is rarely an official office of the state, several First Ladies have exerted considerable power and influence over the course of government despite the lack of a legal mandate, such as Edith Wilson, wife of Woodrow Wilson, and Henriette Conté, the first wife of Lansana Conté. Others such as Hillary Clinton, Imelda Marcos or Sonia Gandhi have gone on to win political power in their own right, while others, such as Argentine Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, held office prior to becoming First Lady. Some others, e.g. Isabel Peron and Janet Jagan have become president themselves. The spouse of the second in command (such as a Vice President) may be known as the "Second Lady". Less frequently, the family would be known as the "Second Family". It has become commonplace for the title of "First Lady" to be bestowed on women, as a term of endearment, who have proven themselves to be of exceptional talent, even if that talent is non-political. For example, the term has been applied in the entertainment field to denote the First Lady of American Soul (Aretha Franklin), the First Lady of the Grand Old Opry (Loretta Lynn) and the First Lady of the American Stage (Helen Hayes).
Why is it ok for people to vote for Hillary just because she's a woman, but it's not ok for anyone to vote for a man just because he's a man?
For the same reason that Catholics voted in large numbers for John Kennedy--the first Catholic elected President, Southerners voted in large numbers for Jimmy Carter--the first Southerner elected President since the Civil War *, and African Americans voted in large numbers for Barack Obama--the first African American elected President. Is that wrong? Aren't commentators speculating whether Sen. Marco Rubio will gain the Hispanic vote? I understand why an Hispanic might say, "He shares my heritage, my culture, and my concerns." Is that wrong? Hasn't every winning Presidential candidate since the Civil War carried his own home state, possibly out of hometown pride? Is that wrong? Why would it be wrong for women to do precisely what Catholics, Southerners, African American, and residents of the candidate's home state do? A sense of pride for someone in your category breaking through a glass ceiling. A recognition with this breakthrough, others in that same category may find new opportunities once closed to them. Do you doubt that there are plenty of elderly women who are openly declaring that before they die, they want to see a female President? Are they wrong to feel that way? Ronald Reagan declared that if he were elected President, he would appoint a woman to the Supreme Court--a court that had only had male Justices. And he kept his promise. Was that wrong? To paraphrase the original question, wouldn't it be absurd for a man to vote for a man because "it's about time"? It's been that time for over two centuries. (* In anticipation of comments over my remarks regarding Jimmy Carter, it's true that other Southerners between the Civil War and 1976 became President, but either because they had been Vice President when the President died, or, in the case of Woodrow Wilson, had moved north from his native state. Jimmy Carter was the first Southern politician to be elected directly to the Presidency since the Civil War.)
If Hillary Clinton becomes US President, will she wield more power than any woman ever?
Essentially, YES.If Hillary Clinton becomes President, she would be more powerful than Catherine the Great, Cleopatra Philopator, Elizabeth Tudor and any First Lady before her (including herself).POTUS is the most powerful Head of State in the World, leader of the world’s apex economical, diplomatic and military power. No woman has ever made it there ever.Cleopatra was Queen of a decadent and dying Ptolemaic dynasty, Elizabeth was a monarch of a newfangled Christian sect trying to survive and compete against the powerful Spanish Empire, as well as stave off many internal threats and rebellions. She was the most powerful woman in European history at the time, but she didn’t command Europe’s richest Kingdom, greatest military or navy…that fell to the Spanish King. The Spanish Armada only failed because of weather not out of special skill on the part of the Navy, and Elizabeth essentially subsidized pirate raids to raise cash for her reign.Empress Catherine the Great was arguably more powerful than Elizabeth, and certainly felt she could get away with liberties that Elizabeth denied herself, but even then the Russia she commanded wasn’t the greatest and richest and most powerful force in the Continent during her reign. It was the most powerful in Eastern Europe, which is not inconsiderable of course. Among modern female politicians. Maggie Thatcher ran England (into the ground…drumbeat) when it was merely one big power in the Continent, and Junior Partner to USA. Indira Gandhi and Benazir Bhutto were leaders of developing nations. Angela Merkel is the most powerful woman in Europe, but Germany is an economic power, a Continental one at that. And behind China and USA.Hillary Clinton however, made it to the very top, the room where it happens.

When a male is elected president and his wife is called the First Lady, what would a lady's husband be called if she were elected president?
If Hillary Clinton is elected President in 2016, there will be 2 President Clintons in the United States. Bill Clinton has joked about being called the "First Man" or "First Dude." Many people think he will be called the "First Gentleman." I just can't see it. Bill Clinton is many things, but somehow GENTLEMAN doesn't fit.As in the case of previous examples, I think Bill Clinton will go by either his former title or a nickname. People will call him:President Bill Clinton Former President Clinton The President's Husband42 BillFormer United States Presidents are typically still called "President So-and-so" even after they leave office. It's a name so snazzy, so prestigious, and so seemingly singular that it never goes away.However, in the case of Bill and Hillary Clinton, as in the case of a few other US Presidental dynasties, the title of POTUS may not be so singular. If Hillary wins the White House, this will be the first time the President is a spouse of a former President, but there have been a few times Presidents have shared a last name. And when this happens, typically people refer to the former President by a nickname or by their full name: John Adams (2nd) was Father of John Quincy Adams (6th). The father is generally called John Adams, while the Son is called JQA, or John Quincy Adams. Theodore Roosevelt (26th) was a Cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (32nd). Both of the former President Roosevelts are most commonly called by their nicknames: Teddy and FDR. George H.W Bush (41st) was Father of George W. Bush (43rd). Usually distinguised by "H.W or W" or by "41 or 43."
