"She's been there for 30 years and hasn't done anything" A repeated Trump charge against Clinton. Where is his "there"?

Let's see first as First Lady of Arkansas when Bill was the Governor. Was that for 8 years or 4 years? As First Lady of America for 8 years in Washington D.C.  Then she moved to New York and was a Senator for 8 years. Then at the request of President Obama she became his Secretary of State for 4 years.  Back again to Washington, D.C. Doesn't quite add up to 30. Where is Trump's "there" since Hillary lived in Arkansas, Washington, D.C. and New York? Is Trump as bad at math as his charge indicates? Exactly what legislation can a First Lady create/pass? What  single Senator from any state can single-handedly create/pass any legislation? What legislation can a Secretary of State create and pass alone on her own?  Senators do not create and pass legislation on its own. It requires the cooperation and action of the House of Representatives. Hillary was a Senator, not a Congressperson. What specifically has she NOT done that she SHOULD HAVE DONE because it  was within her power to do it? Any one know? Generalities are useless and Trump engages in them a lot. Doesn't satisfy me. Does it satisfy you? There may be merit to his charges IF AND ONLY IF he can specify where she had the autonomous authority to act and did not. Otherwise all there is there is more air.
