IF we end up with a female President
 
Just a thought, and I've asked before but never got an answer in the past.

IF we end up with a female President (someday), since the wife of a Male President is called the First Lady, will the husband of a Female President be called First Lord. Assuming we continue with British titles. :hmm:

I personally will not be voting for the Clinton's this elections and I really would not like to think of Bill Clinton as our "First Lord". That just does not sound right, in any book.:nope:

All very good and expected, but what would "His" Official title be?

What AVG said - bound to be 'First man'. Not lord you guys dont have the Royalty theme so why would you call 'First Lord.'

well since a female would be called the First Lady, I would imagine a male would be called the First Gentleman.

I am sure that protocol people are working on this very topic.. just in case.

We may not have Royalty here but some of the terms and traditions (even in the Military) we use were carried over and I do believe the title "Lady" was one of those terms and if so, then it only stands to reason that "Lord" could be used though I don't think it would sit well with many here.

It will be interesting to see what title is created.:hmm:

This is probably the best bet:up:

Won''t really matter. She only needs him for the election so they can appear to be a normal family.

If she does get elected, in the time between the election and the inauguration she's going to drop him quicker than all of her campaign promises combined.

She'll probably divorce him then sign an executive order to have him deported and sent to Gitmo. She'll have him put in a cell across from Monica.

STEED, seriously, sometimes I wonder if your posts even contain a molecule of sense :lol:

On a serious note, i doubt that "First Lord" will EVER be a name used in the US..... EVER.

For one, the bible thumping crowd woudln't have that. LORD (yes, with captials), is reserved ..for.. well....


Secondly, I think our culture woudlnt tolerate it. In a country where "rugged indivdiualism" is the norm, nobody likes any title that sounds like an overlord.

Thirdly, if one looks at our countries earliest history, one will find it is decidely anti monarchy! (yet go figure peoples fascination with the "royals" out.. whooopity do).

Actually in Clintons case they'll probably call him what they call all past presidents :"Mr. President"
