Title: An unmarried president Post by: Simfan34 on January 25, 2012, 05:22:22 PM What challenges would an unmarried candidate for President face to election?
And who would act as First Lady? Title: Re: An unmarried president Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on January 25, 2012, 05:40:44 PM The only precedent set was James Buchanan and his niece was hostess. Maybe a living female relative could act in the same capacity.

Maybe a living female relative could act in the same capacity. That's not accurate--Grover Cleveland had never been married when he was elected for the first time in 1884. He married during his first term. Title: Re: An unmarried president Post by: tallguy23 on January 25, 2012, 09:37:26 PM When Hillary ran for Senate, Chelsea served as First Lady. It would probably be a daughter/niece or other female relative.

Title: Re: An unmarried president Post by: Antonio the Sixth on January 27, 2012, 04:43:31 AM What does "serving as First Lady" mean ?
