Mr President

[dave50]

At the moment the president of the USA is addressed as Mr President. If Hilary Clinton gets voted in will she be addressed as Mrs President or Miss President or something else?

[lindapalmara]

Madam President

[Mamyalynne]

And will Mr C be the 'First Gentleman' ??

It's openend a whole can of worms Mamya !

[Mamyalynne]

Has it?

[jambutty]

Yes !

[Buenchico]

We already have a fairly similar situation here, where the Deputy Speakers of the House of Commons are referred to as 'Mister Deputy Speaker' or 'Madam Deputy Speaker', as appropriate.

Similarly, many local clubs and organisations refer to 'Mr Chairman' or 'Madam Chairman' at their meetings.

Don't former presidents keep the title? Madam President accompanied by President Clinton?

Bill Clinton will be called 'Mr President', because all ex-Presidents continue to be referred to as Mr President.

Alternatively, he might go by the name 'Philanderer In Chief'.

Not sure about Hillary.

[jambutty]

'Philanderer in Chief' - haha that made me chuckle!

[Cloverjo]

In Veep, the fictional female president is addressed as Madam President.

[viv41]

[Bazile]

Madam President, trumps all the other suggestions

[Bazile]

Watch my di*k - i did not have sex with that woman

[mikey4444]

[sp1814]

But is it ma'am as in 'ham', or ma'am as in 'farm'? I can never remember, and I need to find out, because I think I might be up for an O.B.E. later this year.

[mikey4444]

And nobody deserves an OBE more than you SP !

[Prudie]

i thought Hillary and Bill were to all intents and purposes divorced or nearly so.

[ToraToraTora]

won't be an issue!
