The one thing I do not want to be called is First Gentleman. It sounds like a saddle horse.

“I'd love to have First Gentleman Bill Clinton over and ask, 'How do you make your marriage work?' I think the president is sexy as all get-out, but she has got to get on his nerves some kind of way. She's this wonderful, powerful woman, but he sees her leaving her socks on the floor.”

--Sherri Shepherd (replaced “lady” with “gentleman,” “Michelle Obama” with “Bill Clinton,” “he” with “she,” “she” with “he,” “her” with “his,” “his” with “her,” “man” with “woman”)

Being first gentleman is not just about being the husband but really taking command and having true vision.

How should a second President Clinton deal with the first one? What role should he play?

“I know Hillary Clinton has said that her husband will not be picking china patterns, but he should do just that and more. While the consort role is informal, it carries its own gravitas and responsibilities. Playing host and reading to children comes with the territory of being married to a president. Having served as president for eight years, Bill Clinton should embrace the opportunity to play this supportive yet powerful role.”

Bill Clinton: A Perfectly Imperfect First Gentleman

If the former president returns to the White House as a presidential spouse, he will be novel in many ways — especially in his well-documented flaws.

“In a letter to Betty Ford, then the first lady, a Texas woman wrote, without a trace of humor, ‘You are constitutionally required to be perfect.’”

Hillary Clinton’s husband wore a fetching pantsuit to honor her nomination for US president

He may lack current first lady Michelle Obama’s upper arm strength, but he makes up for it with a nice head of hair.

“We’ve yet to read an interview with the person who styled Bill’s silver locks for last night’s DNC appearance, or even see a brief in Women’s Wear Daily or GQ crediting the designers who dressed him for the occasion. Did he buy his suit online, like Melania Trump’s Net-a-Porter-purchased Roksanda last week? Did he go to a store? Work directly with a designer? We just don’t know, which means it’s going to be really difficult for this particular navy suit to sell out, as so many of the dresses worn by Michelle Obama have over the past eight years. Was it Hickey Freeman? Hart Schaffner Marx? Again, we just don’t know.

“Here’s what we do know: Clinton’s suit was navy blue, and he wore a tonal cobalt tie in a shade similar to the Christian Siriano dressMichelle Obama wore the night before. (Some noted then that the dress matched the stage’s background. Clinton’s tie did too!) The suit had three buttons, a notch lapel, and full-cut trousers that broke substantially over his shiny black dress shoes. One might have even called it a ‘pantsuit.’”

When former President Bill Clinton took to the stage of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday night it was just as much — or perhaps more — as the candidate’s spouse as the previous occupant of the Oval Office. And since there’s a time-honored tradition of giving the potential leader of the free world’s arm candy a wardrobe once-over after such events, let’s dive right in. Bill Clinton, wait for it, wore a navy blue suit.

“We don’t know who made the suit specifically (he’s worn Hickey Freeman and Hart Schaffner Marx in the past, among others) but we can tell you that if you stare at it long enough, a subtle tone-on-tone stripe becomes apparent.”

The First Gentleman role is really difficult. There is no job description... You have to create it yourself.

Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Gentleman to look like a million dollars.

There is no job description for the First Gentleman and he's only there because his wife got elected president.

Nancy Reagan (“Lady” replaced with “Gentleman,” “she” replaced with “he,” “her husband” replaced with “his wife”)

The First Gentleman is an unpaid public servant elected by one person - his wife.

Lady Bird Johnson (“Lady” replaced with “Gentleman,” “her husband” replaced with “his wife”)

I'll be a husband and father first, then First Gentleman.

You're gonna need the hooch. All the hideously long days and nights you're about to spend hosting ridiculous galas and balls, standing by her side, your teeth smeared with Vaseline so your smile stays wide and bright, like you're some kind of wax figure. Trust me, this stuff [the hooch] is the only thing that gets you through the lady lunching and the curating, the tedious cause you have to come up with and then pretend to care about. Do you like to decorate, Bill? Come wintertime, do you find little snowflake ornaments and golden pinecones just adorable? I hope you do because those 111 Christmas trees don't just design themselves.
