The Office of the First Lady/First Gentleman will be changed forever. No one can argue the Presidency isn’t a hard, busy job. Why not get some help from your mate? Especially if your partner happens to be a popular former President with what has been called one of the best political minds around.

With Bill back in the White House, if not the Oval Office, the country may see a First Gentleman at the direction of Madame President advising on domestic and foreign policy, barnstorming key districts after the State of the Union, quelling Middle East diplomatic tensions and mediating on behalf of various party agendas. He could do this while stopping by his alma mater, Georgetown, to give a lecture or two while continuing to work on his family’s foundation.

It’s unlikely future First Spouses, following in the pioneering shoes of the former President, would not be given the same liberty as Bill to blaze their own paths—and may God help any conservative relic, who argues otherwise. President Bill Clinton may be the most interesting, powerful person to occupy the Office of the First, er, Lady since, well, Hillary Clinton. And he might be the best thing to ever happen to the office.
