So if H. Clinton gets elected President and Bill becomes "First Dude", will he be expected to assume the responsibilities traditionally associated with the First Lady (e.g. Managing White House staff, Christmas decor, Hosting wives of visiting world leaders...)? If not, who is going to represent the country? Canada's Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau and Mexico's Angelica Rivera could come over for pajama parties.

I could see Chelsea taking over those duties
Many non-wives have served as first ladies such as daughters-in-law, niece, sisters, cousin, and aunts in the history of the US Presidency.

From what I've read, if elected Hillary
has no intention of letting Bill near
any gov't meetings. He's too much of
a loose canon, he shoots off his mouth
without thinking. Most of the time
he's an embarrassment to her, nothing
new there.

I keep seeing Bill letting his mouth hang open - an 'old man' thing

trying to look this up, I came across Meige's Syndrome, but I would say that, with involuntary and spasmodic elements, does not seem to fit what I am thinking about, which is more like a condition of being unaware that the mouth is open.

He's getting a 'withered neck' too, something else that doesn't readily come up on google.

Now that would be a way to destroy relations with a country!
The President is a fink.

although Kaine seems to be having a problem too, check out the look he gives a dozing Bill during Hillary's big speech
