Affair with nanny leading to pregnancy
[edit]Several "reliable sources" are citing a so-called "unreliable source" (The Daily Mail) that reported a married Emhoff impregnating his nanny. Emhoff has admitted to the dalliance, but not yet to the pregnancy. How does this work, when hundreds of reliable sources all cite a partially admitted-to story published in a taboo source? Can we green light this, and cite USA Today??? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:00, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- The affair is already in the article (cited to CNN). Schazjmd (talk) 23:05, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- It was his nanny, and she ended up pregnant. These important points are missing. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:21, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Those details appear to be only sourced to the WP:DAILYMAIL at this point. He acknowledged an affair to CNN, that's reliable and where we should leave it for now. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:07, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- But all those "reliable sources" are parroting the taboo tabloid? Might be time to re-examine our definition of "reliable". Magnolia677 (talk) 10:47, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

There is no such position as 2nd Gentleman (or Lady)
[edit]Neither the spouse of the President nor Vice President hold ANY official position in the United States, which, in case you missed the past 250 years, is a CONSTITUTIONAL republic and neither said Constitution nor Congress has ever authorized a functional role for spouses, nor assigned fairy-tale titles to their unofficial non-positions.
In fact, I seem to recall you guys fought a big war to get rid of the monarchy and inherited titles.
Yet, here we are.

Out of curiosity, what do you think First Lady of the United States refers to? DarthCloakedGuy (talk) 13:27, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Doug Emhoff
[edit]Doug Emhoff is not the first gentleman and Kamala Harris is not the 49th president!!!!!!!! Slcdoe (talk) 16:21, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- In this article, I can't see where it says that they are? Knitsey (talk) 16:27, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Note the last sentence of the first paragraph of his bio. It states “he is the first Jewish spouse of an American President!” We won’t know THAT election outcome until November 2024! This should be corrected on his bio page; however, his bio cannot be edited! Some sweet kid (talk) 00:39, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well, the complete sentence is as follows:
- He is also the first Jewish spouse of an American president or vice president.
- Nothing needs to be done, the sentence is correct. Shearonink (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Nanny
[edit]Why do they say teacher and not nanny? 2601:447:D17E:4040:87A:E3E4:67A1:2E6F (talk) 00:57, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Because it was a teacher and not a nanny. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:10, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
He is not the first Jewish husband of an American President!
[edit]His page is protected and cannot be edited to correct that he is not YET the first Jewish spouse of an American President. That is a tad premature. Some sweet kid (talk) 23:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- It says
He is also the first Jewish spouse of an American president or vice president.
