Yes, they can.
Yes.
You brought up my favorite president, which is James Madison.
And one of the reasons- Oh, totally.
Absolutely.
Sure.
Problematic figure in some ways, but my favorite- No, no, no, no.
But I don't just like him for who he is.
I really like him for who he chose as a spouse and for who chose him back.
Because I think when we tell this story of America, when we get wrapped up and there were these white property-owning landed men who got to make the choices-
There is so much that happened that Dolly Madison, that all the other women in the houses of presidents changed.
And when we think about that governing question that you just brought up at the early republic, a lot of founders or a lot of early governors or a lot of people who are nominated to Congress and end up showing up.
think that they can't hang out with each other because it'll look like they're corroborating behind the scenes or they're trying to figure things out in a way that's unbecoming of a Republican man who has his own sort of ideas on things.
And the women look around and say, well, these antisocial loners are not going to do that well if we can't sort of grease the wheels.
And so someone like Dolly steps in and says, let's have some parties.
Let's let these people know each other.
Let's get together outside of the halls of government.
And that, too, is part of the founding story.
It's not just we passed these laws and we made these decisions.
It's all this sort of like, what does it mean to be in a republic?
