You can vote at the top right corner of this page.
But hurry. There are only a couple of days left to vote.
BTW: Though this represents an impressive complement of First Ladies alive at the same time it is not an historical record.
During two periods in United States history, there have been eleven women alive to have been First Lady. They occurred in the late 1880s, the first for 448 days between June 2, 1886 and August 23, 1887, the second for 114 days between March 4 and June 25, 1889.
Here's another interesting fact: There has been only one presidency when three women acted as First Lady, that of John Tyler 1841–1845. The first First Lady was his first wife Letitia Christian Tyler who died on September 19, 1842. Tyler's daughter-in-law Priscilla Cooper Tyler then served as First Lady until June 26, 1844 when Tyler married his second wife Julia Gardiner Tyler.
Anyway, we want to know: Who's your very favorite living First Lady?
