It’s probably okay. Even if Jill is running everything, it wouldn’t be the first time in American history that a First Lady was unofficially running the country. In 1919 President Woodrow Wilson suffered a major stroke that paralyzed the left side of his body and left him bedridden for months. His wife Edith took over most of his responsibilities and it was kept secret from the public until after Wilson’s death a few years after his term ended.

I’ll grant you that Joe is in bad shape, but having spent some time as a caregiver for a stroke victim who lost similar function as Wilson did, Joe is easily in better shape than that.

I will admit that just because something has happened before and been fine, doesn’t mean it’s something we should just be okay with. But First Ladies have always had significant influence over the president, and to me, I’d rather trust Jill to run things than Joe at this point (and I voted for him).
