I’ve never even heard of her. And yet another woman’s contributions to history ignored because it’s expected of us that we serve men

It was pretty unconstitutional, though. I mean, if the president is incapacitated, the vp takes over. So I’m not sure we should celebrate this extra-constitutional conspiracy, if she was doing the business of the presidency but unelected.
