NEFORMALNA VLOGA PRVE DAME V POLITIČNEM SISTEMU ZDRUŽENIH DRŽAV AMERIKE

ZALETELJ, MELITA (avtor), Durnik, Mitja (mentor)

Prva dama Združenih držav Amerike je ena izmed najbolj prepoznavnih in hkrati najbolj skrivnostnih oseb na svetu. Čeprav njena vloga ni definirana niti v ustavi, kot to na primer velja za predsednikovo, niti v katerem drugem uradnem dokumentu, lahko (ne)posredno vpliva na predsednika in njegovo administracijo. Ravno zaradi tega je vsaka prva dama delovala drugače; nekaterih politika ni zanimala, nekatere pa so v njej aktivno sodelovale. Položaj prve dame se je razvijal skozi stoletja, in kljub temu da njena vloga ni določena, vseeno velja, da je vloga gostiteljice Bele hiše njena primarna vloga, saj organizira uradne dogodke in ceremonije ter se jih skupaj s soprogom udeležuje. Velik pečat prva dama pušča tudi izven političnih krogov. Skozi dvajseto stoletje je postajalo običajno, da je prva dama izbirala različne dejavnosti in jih promovirala ter podpirala. Načeloma so bile to dejavnosti, ki niso ustvarjale razlik in konfliktov med ljudmi. Pri teh dejavnostih prvi dami pomaga osebje, ki si ga izbere sama. Da bi razumeli, kako veliko, četudi neformalno vlogo ima prva dama danes, se moramo vrniti v preteklost, v leto 1789, ko je bil izbran prvi ameriški predsednik, George Washington, njegovo soprogo Martho Washington pa so, čeprav šele po njeni smrti, naslovili kot prvo »first lady«.

• Naslov: THE INFORMAL ROLE OF THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Izvleček

The first lady of the United States is one of the most recognized people of the world and at the same time, she is the most mysterious one. Even though her role is not defined not even in the Constitution, like the role of the president, nor in any other official document, she can (in)directly influence the president and his administration. Because of that every first lady operated in a different way – some were not interested in the politics and some were actively involved. The position of the first lady have developed through the centuries and despite her role is not specified, we can say that her main role being the hostess of the White House. She, namely, organizes and participates to official events and ceremonies with her husband. The first lady is very important also outside the political circles. During the 20th century it became common that the first ladies chose, promoted and supported different activities. Fundamentally, those activities did not create differences and conflicts between people. A staff that she personally chooses, helps her in those activities. To understand the big role of the first lady today, despite it is informal, we have to go back to the 1789, when the first American president - George Washington - was elected. His wife, Martha Washington, was the first one being addressed as the “first lady”, despite only after her death.
