I thought it would be interesting to see any election but It's OTL's candidate's spouses. (ex. Barbra Bush v. Hillary Clinton 1992, Hillary vs Elizabeth Dole in 1996.) Would this effect any election? Please discuss. Also, If this idea is horrible, please tell me as well.
Note: The Presidential Elections of 1824, 1828, and 2016 will ignore the 14th amendment, specifically the fact that the candidate has to be born in the U.S.A.
