TOTALLY GEEKED!

As former President Bill Clinton made history Tuesday night by becoming the first man to endorse his wife for U.S. president at a major party’s convention, Americans across the nation began to wonder: What will he be called if Hillary Clinton wins the White House?

That was the question that spiked on search engines as Bill Clinton delivered a speech about his wife at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. While there has never been a male presidential spouse in the United States, the formal title for the role of a husband of a state governor is “first gentleman,” which became a trending hashtag on social media during Bill Clinton’s speech.

But it may not be so simple for Bill Clinton if he becomes America’s first “first gentleman,” since he’s also a former president. Hillary Clinton has addressed this several times on the campaign trail.

“He said the other day that it was fine for all this talk about me running to break the big hard glass ceiling and become president. But he was running to break the iron grip that woman had had on being spouse of the president. And so I think part of what we’ll have to figure out is what do you call the male spouse of a female president,” she said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last November. “Now, it's a little bit more complicated with him because people still call former presidents Mr. President. So I have to really work on this.”

She pondered: “First dude, first mate, first gentleman, I'm just not sure."

At a town hall meeting in January in Sioux City, Iowa, a member of the audience stood out to Hillary Clinton.

“I got to call on you,” she said, pointing to the young man. “He has a T-shirt that says, ‘Bill Clinton for First Lady.’”

The former first lady and secretary of state then added: “You know, I’m sort of more partial to First Mate or First Dude.”
