What to call a president’s husband? Bill Clinton has ideas

Bill Clinton has an interesting suggestion for what to call him if his wife becomes president: “Adam.”

In an interview with Rachael Ray airing Thursday, the cook-turned-talk show host asked the former president about what his title would be if Hillary Clinton were to win a 2016 White House bid.

Clinton also wondered aloud about what would happen if a gay couple occupied the executive mansion: “You know, if the president is a man, you call the president’s spouse ‘the first lady,’ so we’ll have to cross this bridge if a gay couple [is ever in the White House].”

“We’re joking about this,” said Clinton, “but it’s a serious decision. Serious decision for Hillary, serious decision for the country, and the world.”

The ex-commander in chief said later, “I’m happy to joke about it, but, look, I love my wife. Whatever she wants to do, I’m for. I think it’d be good for the country because she’s the ablest person I’ve ever worked with.”

He added, “If she decided not to do it, I’d give her the bucket list, and we’d go check ‘em off.”
