US dilemma: From First Gentleman to First Dude, what will Bill Clinton be called if Hillary Clinton wins

As the judgement day approaches and the United States of America gets ready declare the winner of the most divisive election in modern history, people are in a dilemma - if prognosticators are correct and Hillary Clinton does win, what will Bill Clinton be known as?

Twitterati and Facebook users have taken the responsibility upon themselves to answer this sticky question and have also added humour to the roles former US President Bill Clinton will embrace. From First Gentleman, First Dude to First Man, Clinton's role has been creating an uproar on the social media.

The fact is that the US has a record of electing only male presidents. All except President James Buchanan, who remained a bachelor, had spouses. They were famously called 'First Lady' of the US.

Hence, Bill Clinton poses a special predicament - not only would he be the 'First Gentleman', but also the first former President to return to the White House as a husband.

Bill Clinton has jocularly called himself the "First Man' and 'First Dude'. Hillary Clinton too once spoke about it, saying, "It is a bit complicated with him (Bill) since people still call him Mr President. So I will have to work on this". (It is a practice in the US to address former Presidents as Mr President).

Wittily a Twitter user said, "Time to break that glass ceiling! If we pride ourselves on being an equal nation, we must no longer let women dominate as presidential spouses! It's about time we let a man covet that title!"Read more.

Hillary Clinton most qualified to lead the US: Barack Obama

"There has never been a man or a woman, not me, not Bill (Clinton), more qualified to be president", declared US President Barack Obama while endorsing Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination on Wednesday night.

Making a surprise appearance at the ongoing Democratic National Convention here, Obama praised his one-time rival, Clinton, whom he defeated eight years ago, as the candidate who could accomplish all that needs yet to be done.

He proudly listed his achievements and said more was needed to be accomplished and Hillary Clinton was the leader to do it.

"Our country is stronger, more prosperous than when we started," he said and ridiculed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's assertions that the US was a failing "crime scene".

He also praised former presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders for his efforts to end the role of money in politics and to promote a progressive agenda.Read more.

Bill's pitch: Hillary is the "best darn change-maker"

Bill's pitch: Hillary is the "best darn change-maker"

Making a strong case for his wife Hillary's presidency bid, charismatic former US presidentBill Clinton on Wednesday narrated his personal story with "a girl" he met in 1971 to emphasise that she is "uniquely qualified" for the top job and the "best change-maker" he has ever known.

"Hillary will make us stronger together. You know it because she spent a lifetime doing it," Bill said in his address to the Democratic National Convention here, hours after the party nominated his wife Hillary as its presidential candidate for the November elections.

"She is still the best darn change-maker I have ever known," the 69-year-old former president said in a mesmerising speech, asking his countrymen to vote and elect Hillary as the next US president.

Scripting history, the 68-year-old former secretary of state on Wednesday became the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major US party as she secured the backing of the Democrats to set up an epic clash with Republican rival Donald Trump in the November polls.

Bill, who was the 42nd president of the US from 1993 to 2000, said, "Hillary is uniquely qualified to seize the opportunities and reduce the risks we face. And she is still the best darn change-maker I have ever known. You could drop her into any trouble spot, pick one, come back in a month and somehow, some way she will have made it better. That is just who she is".Read more.
