Just a thought that struck me -- this is the embodiment of continuity. She may still be around in 2100. Both years sound like SF to many of us, but there will be people alive in 2100 who remember the Obama years, the awful 45 years, and the Biden years.
Our country's gov't shouldn''t look like a convention of old white geezers because the country doesn't look that way. Politicians are always talking about doing things for the sake of our children, and our children's children -- but we shouldn't need to invoke the children of the future; the future is already living among us, and if we steal from our future we steal from our neighbors.
But if you're an Uglican, you just say "Who cares about history ? I'll be dead.".
