WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Just hours after it was announced that former First Lady Nancy Reagan has died, Republicans have come to the conclusion that Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, can never be First Lady.
Not that the GOPers are discounting the possibility that Trump could be elected the next president of the United States. Rather, it is because Melania is the Republican frontrunner’s third wife. Trump was previously married to, and divorced from, Ivana Trump and Marla Maples.
“So technically, even if Trump becomes president,” they said, “Melania will not be the First Lady. She is the third.” Additionally, they pointed out that Melania is not a natural-born citizen. She was born in Slovenia.
Trump’a first wife Ivana, could potentially sue to claim the title of First Lady. But Ivana was not born in the U.S. either. She was born in Czechoslovakia.
Would that mean the second wife, U.S.-born Marla, can claim the title?
Nothing in the U.S. Constitution specifically discusses the issue of who can be First Lady, so any challenge to Melania or Ivana may eventually be decided by the Supreme Court.
