This is interesting. If the vice president's wife is the second lady that could cause confusion. Say for example Hillary becomes president. Does that make Bill the first lady or the first man. If he is the first lady then the vice president's wife becomes the second lady. If he is the first man, then the vice president's wife is the first lady. The only way this works is if Hillary dumps Bill and picks up a gay wife. Then we could restore a first lady and the second lady.
No.
She's called the Vice Girl.
Yes. It's because the President's wife bears the title of First Lady (most important woman). Therefore the Vice-President's wife is second to the President's wife.
To quote:
"A Second Lady is a title sometimes used in reference to the wife of a vice president, styled relative to the title of First Lady, the wife of a president. Although no country grants any legal power to any second lady, often, their duties include the following:
-hosting during receptions at the vice presidential residence
-presiding over selected welfare institutions
-accompanying the spouse in official travels
-various ceremonial duties
According to United States State Department Office of Protocol, the term is considered an anachronism".
no
no. in bill clinton's case the first lady was hillary and the second lady was monica lewinsky
No, she's just called by her name. The Vice President's wife is not that important. Or else she'd be called Vice First Lady.
