What would Bill be called if Hillary becomes the first woman president?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

First Gentleman? Is there an official title already designated?

Hubby and I were just discussing this, and I thought I'd put it to the experts!

[MSgt213]

1. As a former president doesn't that title trump first Gentlemen?

Or would it be former president and present whatever Bill Clinton?

[MichiganVote]

8. He'll be called to head the ALL MALE interns at the WH

[LizMoonstar]

9. back when i still had presidential aspirations...

i declared that my husband would be called 'The First Dude'.

I believe in other countries, First Gentleman is pretty common.

However, I expect that being as he is a former president, in this specific case, the press would make a point of avoiding the question, and just stick with his name or 'former president' or some such.


edit: and were I president and not already committed to a partner, I'd insist on some hand-picked hot male interns for my office; big dog was dumb about it, but i can see the appeal.

[SoCalDem]

10. In charge?

:shrug:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

14. Love it, SoCal!

And that's why I think Hillary has a chance.

[datadiva]

11. The Big Dawg of course!

What else?

[Botany]

12. The Big Dawg in the Big House

If Hillary would ever make it .... millions of died in the wool idiots would
commit suicide or drop dead of heart attacks on the spot.

[dysfunctional press]

13. First Poon-Hound.

but why worry about something that won't happen...?

[Orangepeel]

15. "First Gentleman" as a title isn't any sillier than "First Lady"

we're just used to First Lady. So, the president's husband probably would be referred to as the First Gentleman.

But, Presidents' wives aren't called "First Lady" to their faces, as in "How are you today, Mrs. First Lady?" They are called Mrs. ________.

So, in Bill's case, he would be called "Mr. Clinton" or "Mr. President" and referred to as "Former President Clinton."

[TallahasseeGrannie]

16. The catbird in the catbird seat.

You KNOW he'd love it.

[ronnykmarshall]

17. First Gentleman would be his title.

But he would still be addressed as "Mr President" while Hillary would be "Madam President".

Have you notice that some times Hillary is refered to as "Former First Lady, Senator Hillary Clinton"?

I wounder if she would want to be addressed as "President Rodham-Clinton"?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

18. Interesting question.

Also you have to think that if the Senator does run, there will be quite a bit of speculation of this subject in the media, emphasizing the involvement of both the Clintons in the White House.

[ronnykmarshall]

I stand by the statement ...

Hillary will NOT be our Presidential nominee. I think she just be our VP however.

Clark/Clinton 2008

[ronnykmarshall]

[davidwparker]

21. I'll still call him the guy who signed NAFTA.

:puke:

[El Supremo]

24. First Gigolo n/t

[Geek_Girl]

25. Mr President

I believe you still refer to former presidents as Mr. President. So they would be basically Mr. and Mrs. President. :rofl:

[Greybnk48]

26. First Mate

I've heard them say that's what they would prefer.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

31. By 'them' do you mean the Clintons?

Or other men who have found themselves in similar situations (I guess Bob Dole may have been asked that at some point...)

[Greybnk48]

38. Yes, the Clintons

Hillary was asked this question in a interview within the past year or two (Bill was with her) and she said she liked "First Mate." I'm sorry I cannot remember who was the interviewer. Maybe Larry King.

[Posteritatis]

27. First Lady's? (n/t)

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

28. The ex husband?

[annarbor]

29. Our State....

Michigan, has a female governor, (Jennifer Granholm).
We refer to her husband and the "First Husband".

32. Bill as Vice

Do you think Hillary would win if Bill ran as her Vice-President?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[newyawker99]

52. Hi OwnedByFerrets!!

[MiniMe]

40. So would they be called "The Presidents" Clinton when being presented?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

41. And would they have to play "Hail to the Chiefs" when they

showed up somewhere together? :)

[RB TexLa]

42. Hopefully when it does happen it will get rid of the stupidity

Of calling someone the "first lady" and they person can be referred to by their name.

[0007]

43. The First Gentleman"

[dave502d]

46. President. n/t

48. Madam President and Mr. President respectively.

[Catherine Vincent]

49. President Clinton

[Bucky]

50. I prefer First Husband over First Gentleman. It just sounds better.

Probably has to do with the syllable count. Sadly, the networks would never call him Big Dog.

[Freedom_Aflaim]

51. Mr. President

He gets that title for life.
