The role of the First Lady (or First Man)[]
The First Lady of the Democratic Republic of Aloria is the title of the wives of the Presidents of the United States. 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. Traditionally, First Lady does not hold outside employment while occupying the office. The Office of the First Lady is also in charge of all social and ceremonial events of the Presidential Palace. The First Lady has her own staff.
"First Lady" (or when there´s a female President, First Man) is not an elected position, 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. There is a strong tradition against the First Lady holding outside employment while occupying the office. The first lady frequently participates in humanitarian and charitable work; over the course of the 26th century it became increasingly common for first ladies to select specific causes to promote, usually ones that are not politically divisive. It is common for the first lady to hire a staff to support these activities. Additionally, many have taken an active role in campaigning for the President with whom they are associated. Pat Thompson, wife of president Ben Thompson took the role one large step further when she was, for a time given a formal job in the Thompson administration to develop reforms to the health care system. She continued to lead policy proposals on various domestic issues, travel abroad as a representative of the State Department, and advise the President.
It is not allowed for a First Lady to have a political function during her husbands presidency. Several First Ladies were political active before or after their husbands presidency. For example, Rosetta Jones (wife of president Coolidge Jones) became MP in 2618 after her husband left the Presidential Palace. She was MP for only two years, and had to resign her function in 2620 after her husband became President again.
If Aloria is to have a female President, it is commonly presumed that the husband of a female President would act as an analogous "First Man", although it´s not an official title like the First Lady. The only three "First Men" are currently Paul Kennedy, Bill Kirkwood and Benjamin Stevens.
