2 October 1919: President Woodrow Wilson of the United States was incapacitated by a stroke from which he never fully recovered; for weeks, in a palace coup worthy of a banana republic, the U.S. was ruled by the First Lady, Mrs. Edith Wilson; Wilson's physician, Dr. Cary Grayson; & Wilson's secretary, Mr. Joseph Tumulty, while Vice President Thomas Marshall & the Congress were kept in the dark.
Lest we forget.
