DO WE REALLY NEED A FIRST LADY?
I agree with what the author says. And First Ladies aren't even paid, though most of them work hard. If they have a job, they should get money for doing it.
But I don't think we'll see major changes until we have the first woman president. Let's say her husband is CEO of a big company. Will he give up his job? Probably he won't want to. Who'd blame him? Yes, there'll be potential conflicts of interest with a working presidential couple, but I think we can find a way to deal with that.
