if and when we get a first woman president,will her husband be called first gentleman?

Answer 1

Are you implying that Slick Willy is a gentleman? Hey check this out Bill Jefferson Clinton = B.J. Clinton.

Answer 2

Yes,
The precedent has been set by the TV show "Commander and Chief." The show died pretty quickly, due to poor ratings (which was a shame). The show's concept was that the president dies and now the female Vice President becomes the president. She isn't taken too seriously and the Speaker of the House wants her to resign (which would make him President).

The White staff was uncomfortable with having a First Gentleman, but they jumped in and called him the First Gentleman. So that has entered the public lexicon, therefore if say Hilary Clinton gets elected then Bill will become the First Gentleman, although he will probably be referred to as former President. If Conndie Rice became President then her husband (I don't know his name) would be the first gentleman.

Answer 3

Probably. Though the thought of changing all of the Presidents's spouses to being called First Mate is one that amuses me.

Answer 4

first gentleman or first man- hopefully this will be in my lifetime!! I can't wait for a woman to run the country- just to see what it would be like.

Answer 5

Yes, It would be called "The First Man"

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

He'll decide on the title he feels comfortable with.

At this point anybody else being president besides Bush would be an improvement....sorry just heard about his latest mistake.

Answer 8

Have no idea I suppose that he may called that.
The Only thing there is not likely to be a first Lady ever.

Answer 9

Yes, he would be called the "First Man." So, if you ever want to stick it to the Man, you know where to look.

Answer 10

Lovely thought.
