The most ridiculous discussion I have heard recently on MSNBC was what the role of Bill Clinton as 'First Lady' might be. It frightens me to think of the rigid minds dealing with that. What is wrong with calling him 'First husband', or 'First spouse'? There was a traditional gender oriented role in the past. The first lady focused on menus, decorating and running the White House, etc. Two silly women discussed this. Apparently many people are now grappling with that issue. There may not be a precedent in this country because we are not first to recognize the political abilities of woman. Other countries have voted women into the highest office. Why does this country continue to consider itself a leader of the world. We are exceedingly backward in today's world!
Many years ago the issue was worked out with Dr. and Mrs. X, who might also be Dr. X and Dr. Y, who might also be married. They may also have been called the Drs. X. With the world in the turmoil it is in, isn't it wonderful that small minds try to get a handle on this huge problem and make such a production out of it.

Aren't you still called President after you leave office? I think he is entitled to being called Mr. President even if Hil takes office.
I hope she does win, Bill can bring 'Sexy Back' to the white house :)
