"Yet another entry, 'First Gentleman,' focuses on the husband of the 
current Governor of Michigan. In that entry, it is claimed that the 
titles have 'ranged from First Husband to First Dude,' although no 
example of First Dude is given."

How about "The Dude" (which implies "first") or "His Dudeness?" As in the
foreseeable future Spanish will take over in the US, it is not unlikely that
("El Duderino" or "El Duder" formed like "el lider") will be the word that
imposes itself.
