First women president as an asterix is just sad.
fwiw she briefly had presidential powers a couple years ago when Biden was sedated for a medical procedure. Source.
Ehhh, "acting president" is not really PRESIDENT president, y'know?
The funny thing is reading the source article, when Trump had the same procedure, he didn't make Pence the acting president because he didn't trust Pence with presidential powers for even an hour.
Sadly its also how Canada got it's first and only woman prime minister.
Campbell became the new prime minister in June 1993 after Mulroney resigned in the wake of declining popularity. In the 1993 Canadian federal election in October of that year, the Progressive Conservatives were decimated, losing all but two seats from a previous majority, with Campbell losing her own. Her 132-day premiership is the third-shortest in Canadian history.[a]
