  1. I’m watching “First Ladies”, narrated by Robin Wright. Why has Melania Trump been omitted; is it because she technically can not be the First Lady because she is not Native American born. Louisa Q. Adams, 1st lady, 1824 had to defend her right to be 1st. lady because of her being born in the UK> Are first ladies vetted before being assigned to the position of first lady. Inquiring minds are curious to know if the fifth amendment to the constitution applies to the first lady as well as the president.
