As a teenager in the White House

Chelsea Clinton moved to the White House when her father was inaugurated on January 20, 1993, at the age of 12 . She spent her entire youth there and attended the private elite school Sidwell Friends School . As a student, she reached the semifinals in 1997 in the competition for a scholarship from the National Merit Scholarship Program . In her spare time she danced ballet. She also participated in conferences of the United Nations Model United Nations project, where students simulate the work of the United Nations.

During her father's tenure, Chelsea were mostly shielded from the public, but there were a few exceptions to this rule. A few days after Bill Clinton admitted an improper relationship with Monica Lewinsky in a televised address in August 1998 , Chelsea was placed between her mother and father as the family made their way to a helicopter for a flight on family vacation. On another occasion, People magazine ran a cover story about Chelsea on February 5, 1999, the day before the Senator vote on Clinton's impeachment .

Chelsea assumed the duties of hosting the White House on behalf of her mother, who had been elected Senator from New York, from January 3, 2001, until her father's term ended on January 20, 2001. During this time, however, she did not take on the unofficial title of First Lady , which is traditionally bestowed on the President's wives who host the White House. Much of the mass media adhered to a self-imposed taboo when it came to reporting on Chelsea Clinton.

Life after her father's presidency

Chelsea Clinton graduated from Stanford University in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in history. Her thesis dealt with her father's mediation in the Good Friday Agreement in the Northern Ireland conflict. She then went to Oxford to do a Masters in International Relations .

From 2003 she worked for the management consultancy McKinsey in New York. Since fall 2006, she works for the hedge fund Avenue Capital Group.

In the Democratic Party's primary campaign for the 2008 US presidential election , she completed numerous campaign appearances, especially at colleges , for her mother, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination, but was narrowly defeated by her competitor Barack Obama . Chelsea Clinton persistently refused to answer questions from the press.

In December 2009, she announced the engagement to her childhood friend, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, son of former Congressmen Edward Mezvinsky and Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky . The couple married on July 31, 2010 in Rhinebeck , New York . On September 26, 2014, the couple had a daughter. Clinton's second child, a son, was born on June 18, 2016, and their third child, also a son, was born on June 22, 2019.
