First Gentleman/First Husband/First Spouse

Hillary Clinton has raised an unprecedented $26 million in the first quarter this year for her presidential campaign. I probably don't have to tell you how important money is nowadays in presidential election. So her chances of winning her party's nomination and the presidency looked pretty good. I have always wonder how we would address the spouse of a female president. First Gentleman? First Husband? In this age of political correctness, I am very surprise that the spouse of the president isn't being addressed as First Spouse. I did some digging around and it turns out the the United States Mints has already done so.


But it looks like we may have more time to decide since it was made known yesterday that Barack Obama is almost neck-to-neck with Hillary and had raised $25 million in the first quarter. So Hillary doesn't look like the inevitable nominee that she was looking like the day before yesterday.
