While the Ivy League has deep roots in the families of America's presidents, Malia Obama's decision to attend Harvard University as an undergraduate actually makes her one of the only first children to do so in years. Caroline Kennedy attended the school in the late '70s, but more recent first children such as Jenna Bush, Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton have opted for other choices - though the history of first children who are Harvard alums stretches back to the founding fathers.

For Julia Louis-Dreyfus, playing U.S. Vice President Selina Meyer in HBO's new sitcom Veep feels like a homecoming. "I'm familiar with the culture of Washington because I grew up there," says the graduate of the tony D.C. private school Holton-Arms. "[First Daughter] Susan Ford and her Secret Service went to my high school, and Amy Carter went to my sister's. So I know that area."

Photograph by Hamish Robertson.Amy Carter, the spectral, bespectacled daughter of former president Jimmy Carter, is the subject of a new collection of wistful and hilarious photographs published by Partners & Spade, the brand-consulting firm and gallery store headed by Anthony Sperduti and Andy Spade. The late 1970s, an era still disillusioned by the Vietnam War but not yet plagued by the avarice that would come to define the subsequent decade, begot something of an icon in the wan quirkiness of Carter. “Anthony had seen the images of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding and was reminded of how bizarre and strange all the images of Amy Carter were when she was young—like having a little gnome living in the White House,” said Partners & Spade’s Andrew Post.

Chelsea Clinton’s big day is being hailed as the wedding of the century — but she’s not the only presidential bride in our nation’s history!
When the child of a sitting or former U.S. President gets hitched, oftentimes the ceremony becomes a circus of no-fly zones and Secret Service guarding the über-exclusive nuptials. Before Chelsea Clinton, many other presidential children have tied the knot in ceremonies all their own. Whose big day was the “Most Like Chelsea’s” and who kept their nuptials the “Most Under the Radar”? Check out our White House wedding gallery and see for yourself!
Amy Carter: “Most Low Key” 28-year-old Amy Carter married 28-year-old computer consultant Jim Wentzel in a low key ceremony in Plains, Ga. Attended by 140 friends and family Amy baked her own cake Caroline Kennedy: “Most Like Chelsea’s” The 28-year-old daughter of Jackie O. and John F. Kennedy...

Presidential children’s weddings are, in modern history, terrifically ho-hum affairs. Sometimes the presidents in question seem to seek attention for their daughters (never particularly for their sons), but it is seldom given. The Nixon daughters' weddings were particular examples of their father trying to muster some reverence and awe and getting a lot of rude jokes instead. Harry Truman couldn’t get much respect for his daughter Margaret. The Johnsons fell flat with Lucy and Linda. Amy Carter, if memory serves, got married uneventfully. The Bush twin wedding hardly caused a ripple. Caroline Kennedy summoned a bit more interest—but then Jackie was her mother. So what’s with the tizzy over Chelsea? This isn’t even an in-office wedding and it’s a news blowout. Surely, it’s not her personality. Chelsea Clinton seems as beside the point as any presidential child has been—a specific Clinton White House accomplishment,...

I can’t believe I agree with Sarah Palin.
But she’s right. Kids of public figures should be off limits to media scrutiny, mockery and savaging.
Especially if a child lives with a disability. That in-your-face “Family Guy” bit (which doesn’t deserve repeating) was disgusting and asshole-y, as Palin might say.
Remember the nasty remarks said about Amy Carter and Chelsea during their awkward adolescence? And how outraged we were? Raise your hand if you think you looked your best in junior high. Di...

Not since Knut, the polar bear, has an animal so captured the public's imagination – and this one hasn't even been found yet. Speaking before the world at his victory rally in Chicago on Tuesday night, President-elect Barack Obama told daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7: "I love you more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House." It's among many promises the candidate made during the campaign – and one he'll be keeping, for sure. But what breed – or breeds – should the new First Puppy be? For starters, says Aspca president and CEO Ed Sayres,...
