Bill in a dress would certainly not be classy, though I'd pay bigly to see it...

I like the idea put forward some years ago that the US should have ceremonial figureheads - like a kind of elected royalty - to do things like official receptions, turkey pardoning, funeral attending, etc., to decouple the showmanship of the office from its actual functions.
Like an Official Master/Mistress of Ceremonies. We could put their pictures on currency... whatever.
The weird thing here is that the proper form of address for Bill Clinton is "President Clinton". However, I personally prefer the "Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss" format which emphasizes that the President is not royal, and is simply a citizen who has been elected to an office.
The appellation assigned to Mr. Clinton, whatever it is, will be the first nontroversy of the administration. Conservatives will seek to impeach Mrs. Clinton for violation of the Constitutional ban on titles of nobility. Bet on it.

Hillary Clinton will be forging the new traditions of a 21st century White House.

Although a room full of balloons in the White House might not go amiss. Maybe a ball pit too.
