If Hillary Clinton become president, will Bill Clinton be the first lord or first man?

This… Is actually an intriguing question. I’ll have to look into it and get back to you… But either way, kudos for the insight.

First man.

What I’m reading seems to suggest that Bill Clinton will still typically be referred to as “former president Bill Clinton”, however some people speculate he’ll be called the First Gentleman.

According to an article by Express, “The first dude, first mate, first gentleman. I’m just not sure about it,” Mrs Clinton told one talk show host. And Mr Clinton has jokingly put himself forward as ‘first laddie’ but his official name is expected to be First Gentleman.

First Gentleman, regardless of the irony.

I would say the 1st man, though some I know will say he would be the monkey’s uncle, but…....bygones. 

“First Laddie.” At least that’s what Governor Bill said.

First Gentleman?

If Hillary gets the nomination, can she choose Bill as her Vice?

Dead, in an apparent suicide.

He already has a title, former President Clinton, based on his own qualifications.

Changing it to anything would be way too old-fashioned for my taste. It’d be like saying a man or woman who has their doctorate would no longer be Dr. ### if their partner got their doctorate.

The individual’s earned qualifications over-ride their spouse’s qualifications.

First Gentleman.

I look forward to stories about his outfits, his hair styles, redecorating the White House, and choosing new china for the banquets.

Thanks for your answers folks. So First Gentleman it is.

All former presidents are often addressed as Mr. President, but this is mistaken. He has the title as The Honourable, because of the elected positron he held and Mr. President was only for the duration of his term in office. So, it could be that they are addressed as Mrs President and The Honourable Mr. Clinton. I found a good article on it.

First Penis.

First Lad

Well it definitely would not be first Lord. Let’s not forget that our forefathers were willing to fight an entire Revolutionary War so that we would not be ruled over by royalty and there would be no hereditary grandiose titles. And, after his election, there were yet some who wanted to crown George Washington as King but he was having none of it.

Everybody in the UK may be all thrilled with your House of Lords, but that stuff won’t fly over here :) (at least not in government.)

Now the entertainment world is another story altogether. Does Beyoncé as “Queen Bee” ring a bell here? HAH.

@Buttonstc: I believe that “First Lord” was indicated by the fact that historically the president’s wife has been called the “First Lady”, and Lord and Lady are equivalent terms… But I do see your point, as well. The terms are only really equivalent as they are applied under the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Lady has a more modern usage, which is simply polite,

@Buttonstc “And, after his election, there were yet some who wanted to crown George Washington as King but he was having none of it.”

An old myth. Oft cited, but with no historical evidence whatsoever to support it.

^^^ What is true is that the Founding Fathers detested titles. Anything that even hinted of nobility, aristocracy, or elitism was avoided. The first presidents weren’t called “Mr. President” or “President _____,” just “Mr. _____.”

I went to the University of Virginia, which was founded by Mr. Jefferson (not Governor Jefferson or President Jefferson!). The tradition still continues. Regardless of their credentials, faculty members are never addressed as “Professor,” “Dr.,” etc., just as “Mr. _____” or “Ms./Mrs. _____.”
