And what I used to like abt Charles was that he managed to spend most of his time out of the spotlight pursuing his own eccentric interests

Had very unpopular position of feeling sorry for him being married to Diana when you were supposed to pity her for being stuck with him.

But, I digress.Idea that president will have a spouse who is also free, capable & willing to give up their life for a public role is odd

If the ideal president has a husband or wife w/ successful career of their own & no interest in a public political role, is this a problem?

Wld it be 'look, I know you're an eminent neuroscientist but ur wife/husband is president so put it away, look pretty, say inspiring things?

Because it is essentially a supportive, social, appearances role. Must wannabe presidents avoid marrying introverts with own interests?

Maybe some research on past US Presidents spouses? Not sure there's a Pulitzer buried in there!

I don't know what you mean? Can someone become president if married to a non-political person or not?

Don't know First Ladies well enough to know if any were introverts. In media age, suspect role of the spouse became more visible

as such with media visibility, a high profile politician may struggle with either an introvert or even a working partner.

It would need to be normalised that president's spouse is irrelevant. Much less relevant in the UK.
