At least she’s the president of something, which is more than I can say.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that even though someone may not have a significant job or position, the fact that they are the president of something, even if it's a small organization, is still an accomplishment. The speaker, Bob Dole, is implying that he himself has not achieved a similar level of success or recognition, so he views the person being referred to as having more of an accomplishment.
