the important things I think about during primary season

What would a husband to the president be called? The First Man?

Gender specificity can be inelegant sometimes.

we've been discussing this at work too... :)
we kind of think it'll be first gentleman, but i rather like "first consort", somewhat in the british style. :) i just like the word consort.

Actually in this situation it will still be president. Once you are a president you never lose the title.

So it will be President Clinton and President Clinton O_o

I think it should be first gentleman. But the "media" has trouble with words with more than one sylabel (and I have problems with spelling). So I suspect it'll be "first spouse." Bleh.

I believe the proper term for that is "First Dick"
