Bill's Official Title?

So let's say Hillary won in 2008. What'll Bill become?

 

The First Husband, or the First Gentleman? Has this ever been considered, seeing as the US never had a female president?

 

What was Maggie Thatcher's hubby referred to as?

 

If it's the First Husband, then Hillary must have been the First Wife - which she wasn't. So the male of the First Lady must then be the First Gentleman? I suppose so, but it's extremely clunky...

He'll still be Mr. President, as all previous presidents retain the title. President Jimmy Carter is still described as Mr. President.

 

 

However, if it were another woman whose husband is not a former president, my vote would be "First Man," or something entirely different like "First Spouse."
