What were you saying about accomplishing things on her own?

According to google's AI:

Hillary Clinton was not officially acting as the President alongside Bill Clinton, as the U.S. Constitution assigns presidential powers solely to the elected President. However, she did redefine the role of the First Lady by taking on significant, unprecedented policymaking responsibilities, leading to a perception among some that their administration was a "co-presidency".
Key aspects of her influential role included:

Policy Leadership: President Clinton appointed his wife to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform in 1993, an initiative aimed at providing universal health coverage. This was the first time a First Lady had been given a formal role leading a major policy initiative.
Official Role: She had her own office in the West Wing and was a key member of the President's inner circle of advisers, actively participating in high-level discussions and decisions.
Legislative Work: While the comprehensive healthcare plan (often dubbed "Hillarycare") did not pass, she was instrumental in the passage of other significant legislation, including the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and the Adoption and Safe Families Act.
Public and International Advocacy: She became a forceful advocate for women's and children's rights both domestically and internationally, delivering a landmark speech at the UN World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995.

Her high level of involvement in policy was a departure from the traditional, more ceremonial role of previous First Ladies and drew both admiration and intense political criticism. Opponents criticized her for wielding significant power without being an elected official, which fueled the narrative of a "co-presidency" and made her a polarizing figure during that era.


But you still managed to vote for a lying, multiple bankrupt, multiple marriage blowhard with zero qualification for President instead of a well-qualified woman? I guess everyone has to learn in their own way.
