When this law was passed, no one thought of women running for office, so it does not mention the first lady. I think that the spirit of this law does not allow for first lady to run for presidency. I think we need SCOTUS to rule on this before we can consider Hillary !

I wouldn't necessarily refer to her as 'lady' but if Biden can run so can she.

Nothing prevents her from doing so. Where were you when BHO's BC was in question?

The First Lady isn't an elected position.

Let's see, we have Bush the first, Shrub the second, and Papist the third as a wannabe. And you're worried about Hillary? Worry more about the Pope running the country than the second coming of a Clinton.

This fails to even begin to make sense.

Of course she's eligible. Why would being married to a former president make someone ineligible to hold the office?

We have a largely dim witted public who sway and faint if the pope comes to our shores; you think they don't do the same for political "royalty"? Wait until Chelsea is in the political eye.

What about a 2 term president having gender reassignment, then running for president because they are legally an entirely new person?
