LOS ANGELES (AP) β Hillary Rodham Clinton is facing a question with global implications as she seeks the White House: What do you call the husband of a U.S. president?
First man? First gentleman?
Funnyman Jimmy Kimmel asked the Democratic presidential contender about that quandary if her husband, former President Bill Clinton, becomes the official White House spouse.
Appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Thursday night, she offered a couple of ideas with a smile: “first dude” and “first mate.”
Clinton says, “I really have to work on this.”
She adds that husband Bill has told her he’s trying to break the “iron grip” that women have had on being the spouse of a president.
Kimmel wanted to know if Bill Clinton would pick out the official china pattern for the White House.
