    Okay so let’s say the president’s grandchild also lives there. Is this the second?

      “First Grandchild” has been used previously (mostly tabloids), but I think the “first” term is usually limited to immediate family

        Is it still “First Lady” if the marriage is morganatic?

          By definition? No.

          But if there was a situation like that, I’m willing to bet people would default to using the “first” title anyway out of custom.

      Nope, First Grandchild (or possibly just ignored). “Second” is for the VP.

      Doug Emhoff is currently the “Second Gentleman”

        I feel like that’s a duh moment. There’s egg in my beard, pardon me.

          Eh, I feel worse knowing how easily accessible that knowledge was for me. I’m sure your brain was temporarily occupied by useful knowledge

            I just lack information recall, and prefer interaction via asking humans over a search. It’s definitely something I knew, hence the duh.

              I was alluding to recall vs. implicit memory, but yeah. I wasn’t suggesting that you didn’t know the fact, I’m suggesting that perhaps your mind is less filled with the noise of factoids shouting themselves out at you.

              I hope I’m correct in this assumption. Everyone deserves to be able to sit in personal silence.

                Oh my misunderstanding sorry if it came across with any sort of tone. You’re not wrong in that at all, always some kind of chaos.
