Who will be the first husband to become First Gentleman of the United States?
What's wrong with this picture? Nothing at all, but imagine the picture reversed, with Hillary's hand on the Bible, swearing to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and former president Bill Clinton proudly looking on.
On January 20, 2009, the United States may face two "firsts." One could be the first female president, a former First Lady. Second would be the first husband of a United States president.
Yes, America, Bill Clinton could become the first First Gentleman of the United States of America.
"First Gentleman" at a Glance
He could choose a different title.
In situations where the head of state or governor of a state is a woman, the term First Gentleman is used to mirror the term First Lady.
In parallel with the term First Lady, the First Gentleman is applied as an official or unofficial title for the husband of an institutional president, such as the president of a university or college, or a counterpart executive leader such as the senior pastor of a church.

Product Description
ROAD TO THE PRESIDENCY is an unprecedented view of the 1992 Presidential election. Taking the viewer far more "inside" than The War Room, the three documentaries on this DVD present startlingly up-close views of Bill Clinton's path through the primaries, the Democratic convention, and the televised debates with President George H.W. Bush. Produced for PBS' groundbreaking series "The 90s," and directed by pioneering video journalist Scott Jacobs (True Life Video Stories), ROAD TO THE PRESIDENCY goes far beyond simple campaign reporting. It is compelling viewing that is at times funny and poignant as well as instructive. ROAD TO THE PRESIDENCY provides unique perspective from which to help navigate the 2004 Presidential election.

The (possible future) First Husband hasn't exactly been the best husband in the world.
January 17, 2008. The scandal turns 10.The Monica Lewinsky scandal was a political-sex scandal emerging from a sexual relationship between United States President Bill Clinton and a then 22-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. The news of this extra-marital affair and the resulting investigation eventually led to the impeachment of President Clinton in 1998 by the U.S. House of Representatives and his subsequent acquittal on all charges (of perjury and obstruction of justice) in a 21-day Senate trial.
In 1995, Monica Lewinsky, a graduate of Lewis & Clark College, was hired to work as an intern at the White House during Clinton's first term. The two began a sexual relationship.
As Lewinsky's relationship with Clinton became more distant and after she had left the White House to work at the Pentagon, Lewinsky confided details of her feelings and Clinton's behavior to her friend and Defense Department co-worker Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded their telephone conversations. When Tripp discovered in January 1998 that Lewinsky had signed an affidavit in the Paula Jones case denying a relationship with Clinton, she delivered the tapes to Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel who was investigating Clinton on various other matters, including the Whitewater scandal, Filegate, and Travelgate.

Great as president, not so great as a husband. I'm amazed Hillary stayed with him - but then a divorced woman in the White House would be even more revolutionary than having a 'first gentleman' (isn't a lady married to a gentleman?) Posted April 10, 2008 |

Hi Susan, I voted for "First Gentleman" in your poll module. It's perfectly natural. How could it be anything else? Good use of the countdown module. Good variety of photos. I especially like the younger years shots. Nice job. ~Music Resource~ Posted January 25, 2008 |
