Dear Yahoo!: If Hillary Clinton is elected president what would we call Bill Clinton? Mark Cleveland, Ohio

Dear Mark: The United States has never had a female president, so we've never grappled with this bit of etiquette. Or, to put it another way, there's no precedent for that president. That said, our first female president will be referred to as "Madam President." This is how female heads of state are referred to in other countries. We can only assume the same rules will apply here. Addressing the president's husband (if she's married) is a bit trickier.

If Hillary Clinton were elected president, we'd most likely still refer to Bill Clinton as either "Mr. President" or "former President Clinton." Even after they're out of office, past commanders in chief retain the title. Call it a perk of the job.

Of course, not every potential presidential candidate is married to a previous ruler of the free world. For example, if Britney Spears were elected to the office (God help us), we'd all address Kevin Federline as "First Gentleman." This is how Dan Mulhern, the spouse of the governor of Michigan, is referred to. Same thing with Jose Miguel Tuason Arroyo, husband of Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

I think we can still call Bill Clinton what we called him when he was President...the Commander and Cheat, Bubba , the First Black President, Slick Willy, The Second Impeached President of the United States, Clintoon, Sexual Predator, etc.

But be advised, it's a pretty long list.
