Woman in the White House

I'm in the process of writing a rhetorical critique of Margaret Chase Smith's 1950 "Declaration of Conscience" speech. Smith was the first woman elected to both congressional houses but interestingly enough refused to be aligned with the feminist movement. A lot of people speculated that she'd run for president. In my research, I discovered a response that literally made me laugh out loud. When asked what she would do if she woke up in the White House, Smith said, "I'd go straight to Mrs. Truman and apologize. And then I'd go home." Amazing.
