    Douglas Emhoff was delightful to listen to. Unpretentious and easy to like. And I especially appreciated that he spent most of the time directing his answers to the audience instead of soley to Stephen. He acknowledged the audience and included them in the conversation, instead of letting them watch a conversation between Stephen and him, which is what usually occurs in these guest interviews.

    Martin Ginsburg, who ended his successfull career as a tax lawyer in NY and started teaching at Georgetown Law Center, where Doug Emhoff is also teaching.
    Jill Biden, who was the first second lady to actually work parallel to her duties as a second lady.

    Question: Would the protocol be the same, if a gay man is elected as President of the United States and his spouse does the same job?
    Mandilón: For those who are not from Mexico, is a Mexican derogatory term that refers to a man who participates in housework and is therefore considered "less of a man" by not having the role of chief provider in the house and is being submitted to the woman.
    Update (02/06/24): Claudia Sheinbaum won the 2024 presidential election in Mexico, becoming Mexico's first female president, and her husband, Jesús María Tarriba, makes history as the country's First Gentleman and male spouse of a female president.
