Edith Gault Wilson, was the wife of President Woodrow Wilson and did many tasks when he had a stroke. Nowadays if anything happens to the President, the Vice President immediately takes charge. That law did not exist when President Wilson had a stroke, so his wife took over. Edith Gualt Wilson could be called the USA's first Acting Woman President.
