Melania Trump has disclosed her signature first lady issue if she gets to move into the White House with her husband, Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n

It’s cyber-bullying. It’s a nice issue to concentrate on, although the irony of her focus on this issue has been lost on no one, given the GOP nominee’s abuse of social media.<\/p>\n

That all said, what about Bill Clinton’s agenda as the nation’s first-ever “first gentleman”?<\/p>\n

First, we’ll have to clear up how the media will report on the former president’s coming and going. Do they call him “former president Clinton” or do they refer to him as “first gentleman”? I’ve heard that when he and his wife are together, they will be introduced as President and Mr.<\/em> Clinton.<\/p>\n

What, though, will be the issue that occupies his time, enables him to speak out publicly on behalf of his wife’s administration?<\/p>\n

First ladies all have identified themselves with signature issues: Michelle Obama — healthy eating and physical fitness; Laura Bush — education; Hillary Clinton — children’s welfare; Barbara Bush — family literacy; Nancy Reagan — drug abuse\u00a0… and on and on it goes.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton has indicated her husband will play a key role as an economic adviser. That’s a good call, given the economic vitality the nation enjoyed during the 42nd president’s two terms in office. That’s no “theme,” though, for the first spouse.<\/p>\n

I will await — assuming Hillary wins the election Tuesday — word from the former president\/first gentleman on how he intends to use the enormous public profile his new status will provide.<\/p>\n\n
