We don't know if the ambassador will bring his
(spous) with him. So how does it work? He has a wife and a (spouse) or what?
Maybe Obama had looked into that, because US law does not allow 2 wives, but it
might be easy with Wife + something else. Congratulations USA for these great
achievements.S1000+
