Hi, Toaha,

There should be a comma before "all in her first term of office."

Gustavo, don't you think there should be a comma before "All while holding a baby"? Do "all while" and "all the while" have the same meaning?

No, it's not necessary. The whole text is formed by phrases, not sentences, so you don't need to join those last two phrases with a comma.

Yes, you could also say "all the while" there. The diference is "all the while" is a noun phrase that works as an adverb (similar to "all the time"), while "all while" is parsed as two words: "all" refers to all the actions mentioned before, and "while" is a conjunction (all these things she did while she was holding a baby).
