Republican's second to bellow about First Lady being easily visible? (3-5)

I believe the answer is:

eye-level

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'easily visible?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'republican's second to bellow about first lady' is the wordplay.
'republican's second' becomes 'e' (2nd letter of 'republican').
'to bellow' becomes 'yell' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'first lady' becomes 'eve' (first woman in the Bible).
'yell' enclosing 'eve' is 'yelevel'.
'e'+'yelevel'='EYE-LEVEL'

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eye-level that I've seen before include "At viewing height" , "The same height as the observer" , "At one's height of looking" , "Viewable horizontally" , "Head height" .)
