The second lady of the United States or second gentleman (SLOTUS or SGOTUS) is the informal title held by the spouse of the vice president of the United States, concurrent with the vice president&#8217;s term of office. Coined in contrast to &#8220;first lady&#8221; \u2013 albeit used less commonly \u2013 the title &#8220;second lady&#8221; was apparently first used by Jennie Tuttle Hobart (wife of Garret Hobart, vice president 1897\u20131899) to refer to herself. The first second gentleman of the United States is Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, the current vice president and first woman in the position, since January 20, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every First Lady in American History\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y9EI6eMW8yE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twelve second ladies have gone on to become first ladies during their husbands&#8217; terms as president. The first to do this was Abigail Adams, who was married to John Adams, who was the first vice president from 1789 to 1797 and then the second president from 1797 to 1801. Thus, Abigail was the first second lady and the second first lady. The most recent to do this is Jill Biden, who is married to Joe Biden, the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 and then the 46th president since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the 1970s, the vice presidential official residence is Number One Observatory Circle in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What to expect from Melania Trump\u2019s second stint as First Lady\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KbnS2kpJSHY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History<br>The second spouse&#8217;s visibility in the public sphere has been a somewhat recent development. Although the role of the first lady as White House hostess dates from the beginning of the republic (and was typically filled by another member of the president&#8217;s family if the president was unmarried or a widower), with a few exceptions, it was generally not until the late 20th century and early 21st century that vice-presidential wives took on public roles that attracted significant media attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one notable exception, Floride Calhoun, wife of Vice President John C. Calhoun, was a central figure in the Petticoat Affair, a social-political scandal which involved the social ostracism of Secretary of War John H. Eaton and his wife Margaret O&#8217;Neill Eaton, further damaging already-strained relations between Vice President Calhoun and President Andrew Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second Lady Pat Nixon, with Vice President Richard Nixon, led a delegation to Ghana in 1957. One historian wrote that Pat Nixon &#8220;helped to define this nebulous role for an entire generation of women who would succeed her&#8221;.<br>In 1978, Muriel Humphrey, wife of Vice President Hubert Humphrey, became the only former second lady to hold public office; after her husband, who had returned to the U.S. Senate after his term as vice president, died in office, she was appointed by Minnesota governor Rudy Perpich to continue her husband&#8217;s term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been 17 periods of vacancy in the role, the longest of which continued for 16 years between the service of vice presidential spouses Abigail Adams and Ann Gerry when there were three widower vice presidents and a one-year vacancy in the vice presidency. The most recent second lady vacancy was for 132 days in 1974, between the service of Betty Ford and Happy Rockefeller, when the vice presidency was also vacant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Role in practice<br>The role of the second lady is unpaid and not formally defined.[2] The wife of the vice president of the United States was traditionally expected to serve as a hostess and appear at society functions.[3][4] Jennie Tuttle Hobart, wife of Vice President Garret Hobart (1897\u20131899) is often cited as the first woman to style herself as &#8220;Second Lady&#8221;.[5][4] Hobart took over the hostess duties on behalf of First Lady Ida Saxton McKinley, who had chronic health issues including epilepsy.[4] Starting in 1917, the wife of the vice president took on the unofficial role of convener of the Red Cross Senate Wives, presiding over their lunches; the organization later became known as the Senate Spouses Club.[4] The question of the second lady&#8217;s status became a topic of debate in 1929 when Dolly Curtis Gann, the sister of Vice President Charles Curtis (1929\u20131933), assumed the role of hostess on his behalf, since he was widowed.[6] Gann had waged a public &#8220;battle of precedence&#8221; against Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the wife of the late speaker of the House.[7]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug Emhoff (right), the first and only second gentleman of the United States, standing next to his wife, Kamala Harris (left), the first and only female American vice president, during her inauguration on January 20, 2021.<br>Over time, the spouse of the vice president started to become more visible as the Office of the Vice President itself gained power and influence, and assumed additional responsibilities.[4] In 2010, Marie Claire magazine described the role of second ladies as being &#8220;relegated to roast-chicken charity dinners and sit-and-smile political functions. They cherry-pick a cause or two\u2026and pretty much stay out of the way.&#8221;[8] Presidential historian Gil Troy noted that during the Kennedy administration, one of Second Lady Lady Bird Johnson&#8217;s roles was to replace First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy when she withdrew from public appearances, often at the last minute; Johnson replaced Kennedy on more than 50 occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pat Nixon, wife of Vice President Richard Nixon, was the first second spouse to add a great deal of substance to the role of the vice president&#8217;s wife. When Nixon assumed the position in 1953, the role&#8217;s only official function was to preside over the once-annual Senate Ladies Luncheon.[10] Instead, Nixon launched her own initiatives, sensing great opportunities that her role provided. She established a schedule separate from that of her husband, which often consisted of solo activities. As second lady, Nixon traveled more than 125,000 miles around the world to six continents, including a two-month, 42,000-mile journey through Asia in 1953.[10] As she undertook missions of goodwill across the world, she insisted on visiting schools, orphanages, hospitals and village markets rather than attend tea or coffee functions. In this sense, Nixon essentially created the modern role of the second lady; historian Kate Andersen Brower wrote, &#8220;she helped to define this nebulous role for an entire generation of women who would succeed her.&#8221;[10] Historian Cormac O&#8217;Brien says that Pat Nixon &#8220;may have well been the most extraordinary second lady in American history&#8221; because of her role in accompanying Vice President Richard Nixon on a tour of the world as a goodwill ambassador.[3] She also traveled independently of the vice president and attended events, including campaign tours, on her own.[6][4] According to O&#8217;Brien, Second Lady Nixon proved popular &#8220;as a paragon of graciousness, composure, and elegance&#8221;, and made a conscious effort to travel to locations where local women were banned, to spread a subtle message for equal rights.[3]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Reagan administration, Second Lady Barbara Bush hosted more than one thousand events and traveled over 1.5 million miles at home and abroad over eight years, and championed literacy, a cause she continued to support when she later became First Lady.[3]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tipper Gore, former wife of Vice President Al Gore, was active in several campaigns to remove material she found objectionable from popular American entertainment like movies, television shows and music, starting when her husband was a senator. She challenged performers over their use of profane lyrics and often debated with her critics, such as Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra. Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, championed education reform, citing specific failures of the American public education system during her tenure as second lady. She is a particularly outspoken supporter of American history education, having written five bestselling books on this topic for children and their families.[11] Jill Biden, wife of President Joe Biden, worked as an English professor at Northern Virginia Community College, and is thought to be the first second lady to hold a paying job while her husband was vice president. She has been involved in various causes, including breast cancer awareness and literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Douglas Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, became the first Second Gentleman of the United States when his wife was elected the first female vice president. He is the first attorney,[citation needed] the first Jewish person, and the first husband to assume this ceremonial role.[13] Emhoff is a law professor at Georgetown University Law Center.[14] His priorities in office have been to advocate for food security across the United States, fight antisemitism on the international stage, address climate change, as well as push for equal access to justice. He has traveled to several countries representing the United States, including France, Germany, Poland, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia among others, having met with heads of state and attended inaugurations and state dinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/First_Lady_of_the_United_States\">first lady of the United States<\/a>&nbsp;is the hostess of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/White_House\">White House<\/a>.

The first lady is not an elected position; it carries no official duties and receives no salary. Nonetheless, she attends many official ceremonies and functions of state either along with or in place of the president.
