Chelsea Victoria Clinton (born February 27, 1980) is the daughter and only child of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and current New York Senator and former 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Chelsea Clinton was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. Her name was inspired by her parents' fondness for Judy Collins's recording of the Joni Mitchell song "Chelsea Morning".
Chelsea was described as a precocious child. As a toddler, instead of saying, "I have to get a shot", she'd say, "I have to get my immunizations." While in elementary school, Chelsea skipped the third grade. Her mom and dad encouraged her academic excellence, with dad Bill keeping a miniature desk for his daughter in the governor's office when he was Governor of Arkansas.
