What IF LPR that is married to a B2 overstay spouse applies for N-400?
I notice that on the N-400 there is a section where it asks the immigration status of the citizenship applicant's current spouse. What should be put if the LPR's spouse is a person who has overstay his/her B2 visa? Would USCIS initiate any action against the LPR's spouse such as removal proceeding or even accusing the LPR of harboring an illegal alien?

You put in the truth. I've never seen them start removal proceedings or go against the applicant -- but one never knows.

TELL THE TRUTH
Generally lying to the USCIS is frowned upon.

They ask, you answer. In my past experience, it has been no problem. In fact, I recall one interview where the DAO commented "I assume you'll petition for him when you become a citizen."
It is actually a common situation.
