I wonder if she'll prefer Madam President, Ms. President, or Mrs. President? We'll find out in a couple weeks but ladies, what would you opt for?

Madam is most formal. Love the reference to it as from TV shows and not real life female heads of state. Oh to be young. Ms. is used for young women and when you don't know whether a woman is married. Plus I would think women would feel that Mrs not only makes her just someone else's wife, but conjures up sleazy Bill.

I agree EY3. She is unfit for office, what with her 30+ years of experience, her tenure at the State department, her prior career as a lawyer, her education at Yale and Wellesley, and being First Lady from 1992 to 2000. I only hope EY3 that you use your logic in your job.

I agree that Ms. feels best. That's what I'd choose, but I think it's going to end up being Madam based on popularity of the phrase from TV show. Regardless, how incredibly interesting to discuss these seemingly minor details and realise there's no precedent because it's history in the making!!

Technically Miss is for unmarried women. Ms is for both. Mrs is for married women.

It's Madam President. It's not like she's first female president in the entire world. Ms. or Mrs. President actually sound silly to me and not formal at all.

I like Madam. She was most frequently called Madam Secretary so presumably that will continue

No precedent? Of how to address a female head of state? Seriously?

Regardless, being as everyone in the White House will be for sale, Madam seems appropriate.

Ms. President sounds best. Although it should be Mrs. President since her husband was once president it makes sense. Madam is just corny.

If she's president it's a sad day that we have to have her as first female president. What a disappointment.

^ 😂 right. No one called her Madam Secretary Clinton, however, she was addressed as Madam Secretary throughout her tenure. (FYI- nobody says "Mr. President Obama", either)

Ms is for unmarried women. Since she is married (even if only business) she can't be Ms. Mrs or Madam it is.
