Silly Canadian here.....?

Question

If a woman were to win the presidential run in 2008... what would you call her husband? certainly not the first lady. LOL So is there an answer for this question? or any idea's?

Answer 1

Lonely.

Answer 2

I would imagine you'd call him The President's Husband, or Bill.

Now, the term "First Lady" is an unofficial term... and wasn't really widely used until the late 1800's with President Rutherford B. Hayes...

It also 'officially' holds no special capacity... but you and I know that, while the First Lady can just hang around and do nothing, that wouldn't be politically correct.

Answer 3

There was an awful TV show on here in the United States that depicted a woman President (she came to power because she was VP and the President died, which in my view is the most likely way a woman is going to become President in the U.S.). Her husband was referred to as the First Gentleman.

Answer 4

FIRST GENTLEMAN. Like the husband of the Philippine President Gloria Arroyo.

Answer 5

here in the Philippines our president is a woman and we call her husband First Gentleman

Answer 6

The obvious correlate to "First Lady" would be "First Man". Whether they will use this term or "cook up" some other expression, I don't know.

Answer 7

The "first husband" or in slang term: Yo! Adam! (smile)

Answer 8

The first gentleman, perhaps? That would be equivalent to first lady.

Answer 9

What about the President's Consort?

Answer 10

since the only possible woman to win the election is hillary, you would call him bill aka slick willy
