Okay.. here's a potential dilemna... Rumour has it that Hillary Clinton is under no small amount of pressure to make a run for the presidency...
Now let's just say she is successful... First of all what will she be called? Mrs. President sounds a bit odd.. so maybe Madame President...
But even more interesting will be Bill's title... First Lady?
Of course, "First Man" is also possible but that makes him sound like the biblical Adam.. or something from Charles Darwin's
Origin of the Species.... or maybe a Leakey, early hominid, discovery...
Other ideas?

This whole subject is just too disturbing to comment on

In keeping with Bill's desire to be hip and au courant, they'd probably call him "First Guy."

lol!
Or "First Dude"
and for a film allusion, how about
Citizen Clinton
@Scayde,
well this thread originates from a conversation my partner and I had this morning.. and it occurred pre-coffee, which probably helps to explain things

ROFL!
In that case calling Hillary
Madame President takes on an entirely new meaning!
I guess she'd have Bill beat in her exploits anyway; at least she'd be getting paid, which would help reduce the national debt

Just think, once Bill is back in the White house without all that pressure of being President, he can finally have all that leapord print shag carpteing and pink furry trim installed.

Well we Filipinos...
...have a lady president and we address her as Madam President while her hubby is referred to as The First Gentleman...
...but seeing some of the suggestions here, what about...
...Mama-san and Papa-san?

Just think, Hillary would sit in the seat that Bill performed some of his "acts" in. This could get interesting.
And I say Bill is labelled
The First Friend to all the women out there
Wait, maybe he'd be Vice President. The Clinton's rule the country.

I’m sure she, or any other female president of the US, would be called “Madam President.” As for Bill, I think it is traditional to continue to refer to former presidents as “President” which would be very confusing indeed.
Seriously, though, I think it’s about time to elect a woman to the presidency. We could use a different perspective in the office. I doubt that Hilary Clinton would be electable if she ran, though. It seems the conservative ditto-heads out there think that she is somehow evil incarnate. My main base of reference here is my father-in-law who seems to have a pathological fear of her. I don’t really get how she threatens him so....

Yeah, if power was truly poisoning, I'm surprised all us men aren't already in rehab. Yeah, not all men are that they're cracked up to be seen overall (even the real normal guys).
Still, it's time a woman truly felt what it's like in the hot seat of the country.
Oh well, I don't have too much funny or informative stuff to say. *shrugs*

Old Mr. P and the current Lady P?
Can you picture it - Bill and Hill hanging in the Oval after a long day
Bill - "When I was running things I would have done it..."
Hill - "Shut up Bill"
Bill - "I was just saying it could have gone smoother if.."
Hill - "Shut up. I'm not going to tell you again."
Hill rubs here forehead. "I've got a headache and I'm going to bed"
Bill looks at the interns and smiles at them. Turning to Hill, "Hey, can I use the office for a while? I've a little work still to do."
Hill explodes, things fly through the air and Bill decides to retire early with a headache too.

LMAO I think Hill will install a metal undie with lockpad on Bill like the one on "Robin Hood - Men in Tights"

You know, that was really distracting to me during that movie.
I mean, how did she go to the bathroom without getting her metal protector all soiled and smelly??
I vote for:
"Mistress America"
"Slave"
