Would first gentleman be responsible for hosting state dinners, decorating the whitehouse, picking china patterns, etc...? Or will we redefine that job description to accomodate men? If we redefine it, is that affirmative action? (changing the rules to fit a gender)

some people so blinded by hate they can't see the details. Oh well, Hillary must be doing something right, if so many people are afraid of her!

Will Christian Dior give him suits to wear to promote fashion statements - and will GQ and People magazine devote entire spreads to his choices?
Affirmative action....Lol!

Good question! We have absolutely no precedence at this level.
If we look at the traditional "job" of First Lady, it is being responsible for the running of the domestic side of the White House, being a non-partisan figure to the American people to espouse, support and lend their stature to causes that are non-partisan and that benefit America, etc.
It seems an awkward role for a man, especially a manly man. I suppose we'd need to look at how it is done elsewhere, such as in royal families, like Prince-consort Albert, or Margaret Thatcher's husband, etc.
I know that many states have had female governors, but even as prominent a position as that, the spouses of governors really do not get much exposure.
Also, since traditional First Ladies have been stay-at-home mothers, what happens to a First Gentleman who's a significant person themselves? Will a captain of industry be expected to stand down and pick out the new WH china and curtains?
Whatever happens, it will certainly be interesting.

Who says "Billy Bubba" Clinton would be a GENTLEMAN?
No! Let's not even assume Hilary has a snowflakes chance in hades of becoming president. That would be another "co-presidency". No!
Since when is DISLIKE synonymous with FEAR? A person can dislike something or someone and not be "Afraid" of it. The libs and socialists have made dislike into another form of fear. That is so invalid!
Here in Washington State we have a female governor. Her husband is an attorney and has continued with HIS career. We never hear anything about him. He stays out of the headlines.
When official parties are held in Olympia, the governor has a well paid staff to put on the events, and they don't need the governor's husband to polish the silver.
I imagine the same would be true if we get a female president. And let's hope it is not Hillary. I do not like her! No fear.
Oh, and I do not like our current governor.

I think he would have fun picking curtains, painting the residence, choosing what suit of Bill's Hillary was going to wear.
He would make a good house husband.
They would have to add an infidelity clause to the job description of First Spouse.

I am assuming that it would be the 'first gentleman's' job to hire someone to decorate the white house, picking out china patterns, etc... Unless he was very metro sexual.

He will be a statesmen/Gardener. Occasionally mowing the White house Lawn. Though I don't think she will win unless the Republican candidate commits an atrocious blunder.

Na he will just get one of his other girl friends to do it for him.
not blinded by hate just remember what Hilary said. "you cant do that to us, we are the president." he wouldn't have time to deal with that mundane stuff. and it makes it easy to handle when he has all the other women waiting around. just convenience
