However, Pelosi is the first woman elected as US House Speaker and the first woman to lead as major political party in either chamber of Congress and she is the dean of California’s congressional delegation. She was the highest-ranking woman in the presidential line of succession in both terms. She manages herself graciously, she possesses a wealth of knowledge of America’s politics which is a valuable resource.

“My my mother?’’ replied Helen.
