When the United States finally has a female president, what would her husband be called?

He could be called the "first gentleman". Alternatively, he could not have a title at all and just be referred to by name. That was the case for Denis Thatcher when Margaret Thatcher was elected Prime Minister in the UK - he was just "Mr Thatcher".

I dont think it would really matter. In fact I think a strong assertive woman...who is still compassionate and realistic would work nicely. We dont need anyone whos a bit obsessed or overly driven about becoming the president. Just someone who feels they have something to offer. Not some agenda or thing to proove.

Either one of them would make a good first woman president.  The first woman president would have to be able to withstand a lot of criticism.  They would have to flip-flop with the best and act like it was the way they truly feel.  The men presidents have done this for centuries.  Both of these women have demonstrated this ability.  The first woman president must not back down in a fight, even if they are dead wrong.  This would be a sign of weakness.  Again both qualify.  Both women have already run the White House.  Both have been involved in underhanded dealings and have gotten away with it.  Just like various male presidents.  How could you go wrong with either.  Since I tend to lean more to the conservative side as I've gotten older, I would probably cast my vote to Condi.

We already had a woman president, Hillary. lol\nMickey Mouse could win the presidency next term on the Democratic ticket after these last few years with W.\nIf a woman becomes president, what do they call her husband? The first gentleman?\nIt's not a matter of "should a woman be president." It's not important that we elect a woman, so that we can finally say we did it. What needs to happen is to elect the most effective leader, whether it is a man or a woman. That's not so easy to do. Usually, instead of a leader, we get a politician. A politician is someone who cuts deals, trades influence, and always if it will benefit him or her. That makes politicians self-serving. A leader is someone who does the right thing for the country, whether it is good for him or her personally or not. We haven't had one of those in a long time. Harry Truman 60 years ago. Or maybe John Kennedy 45 years ago. \n\n\nThere are several women out there right now with the nads to be president. Many other nations have female heads of state so why no the U.S.? One way to look at it is being a good mother. To do this you have to be a good leader requiring strength, making tough decisions even if those you lead (your kids) hate you for a while, being flexible with what new information comes your way, and so forth. \nNot saying a president has to be a mom, just saying women have the ability and strength of character to do the job.\n\nThanks for a great question.

This is something I have put great thought into, I assume it would be First Gentleman. And to all of you against her being in office, get the hell over it, anyone has to be better then the idiot we have now!

Definitely Hillary.  We're ready for a woman president. She's ambitious, intelligent, and a bitch - good qualities for a female first lady.  But what would that make Bill - second man?

you should ask women. Since the late 60's, more voters have been women then men. So if there hasn't been a female president yet, it's the women that made it so.

Yes i would, it's about time, we had some really smart lady in charge. \nFor one on the most advanced nations on earth, we are one of the few democracies that have never had a woman leader.\nMaybe the time has come at last.

Great question!  I believe that we should never elect someone based on gender, but rather on their platform.  However, I think a woman would bring  a unique perspective to our country.  I think a woman will be elected president at some point, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

The president is the first man, he'd probably be the first spouse, partner, or husband.

Yes, I think eventually a woman will become president.  However, I don't think this is going to happen until other countries can take women seriously.  In countries, third world especially, women are less valued than men.  Until those countries value and give equality to women, a female president is unlikely.  Other countries just wouldn't listen to a woman; they may even be offended by it.  \nI think a black president will happen before a woman president personally, the exception of course would be if a black woman was elected like Condi.  I seriously doubt that she'll run though.

Let's hope we don't have to find that out.\n\nI think it would be so sad, that the first woman president of the USA would be Hilary Clinton, surely there are honorable, honest ladies out there that are ready to make the grade. JetDoc has her characterized perfectly, just go look at her voting record, she would sell her soul (quite possibly has) for political gain.

If you mean _American_ president, I really hope it's an African American woman, somebody non-Caucasian, non-male, non-whatever-previous-presidents-have-been, because it's time to drastically change, wake up the small-minded people, and have a brand new view on how to rule this country!

I concur with the sentiments of the other people who have answered.  As long and the woman is qualified and not Hillary Clinton, then the U.S. is ready for a woman president.  I wouldn't mind seeing Condoleeza Rice and president.
