I kind of love the idea of a male spouse of the US President. Bill Clinton is sort of an anticlimax, though. He’s already lived in the white house and knows the job. He knows what a political life is all about.
What if the President was married to someone who didn’t have a lot of experience or knowledge of politics? Not the First Man, not the First Gentleman, but the First Dude. What if the president married a Dude?
Imagine…
A young mayor presenting an award to a Surfing champion or something along those lines from the local area turns into some subtle flirting
Being totes nonplussed when she tells him she wants to run for president one day and the first person not to laugh at her or tell her she should aim for something more achievable
Her political family being a bit hesitant when they get engaged but he totally wins them over
Doing cute things like putting her name on his surfboard when she runs for higher office
Retiring from his career to look after the kids with no resentment because he believes it’s for the greater good - and he absolutely loves being a stay-at-home dad
Being totally ready to present his recipe for Surf and Turf on some talk show and dismayed by the double standard when they actually want to know his views on politics (even though they didn’t ask the same questions of the other potential first spouse)
Inviting all his bros over to watch the election coverage and totally making out with his wife when she wins
Doing the macarena at the Inaugural Ball
Sliding down the bannisters at the white house
Yes, he will be picking out the china patterns, because fuck yeah official china pattern guy.
Organising the shit out of those functions yes he can be classy “dude no I said red flowers not white and no the governor will not sit there do you know who my wife is seriously”
