She seems not to have a very firm grasp on the theory of government in the US - but she was elected by New Yorkers, and damned few of them understand the workings of government, either.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
