Caroline Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy was the eldest daughter of John and Jackie Kennedy. She was three years old when her father was elected as President. Like all of the Kennedys, there's a lot of American mythology linked to her name, including serving as a partial inspiration to Neil Diamond's iconic "Sweet Caroline." She's now the mother of Jack Schlossberg.

JFK Jr.

John F. Kennedy Jr., also known as John John, was John F. Kennedy's youngest son. He was born 17 days after his dad was elected President, and spent his earlier years in the White House, making for many now iconic photos. He was a journalist, founding the political magazine "George" in 1995. He died in a plane crash in 1999, which took the life of his wife Carolyn Bessette, and her sister Lauren.

Chelsea Clinton

Chelsea Clinton is the only daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton and spent her teenage years in the White House with her parents. In her podcast "In Fact," she revealed some of the pressures of growing up under the tutelage of the Secret Service. 

"I once was driving with my best friend from high school and we went through a light and like the Secret Service got caught behind the other light and we pulled over immediately of course, and waited for them," said Clinton. "But I was like, 'Oh my God, like I'm outside of their immediate line of sight for like two minutes.' And I think I apologized for two weeks. I felt so horrible."

Jenna and Barbara Bush

Jenna and Barbara Bush are the twin daughters of George W. and Laura Bush. Jenna revealed that she met her now husband Henry when her dad was still in office, prompting for some funny moments in the White House. 

In a chat with Hoda Kobt, she revealed that Henry slept over at the White House. "Henry said he woke up and he looked around and he was like, 'Aaaaaaaah' because he worked for my dad," she said.

Malia and Sasha Obama lived in the White House for eight years, with Sasha being the youngest person in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. She was 10 years old when her dad was elected. The young women lead a private life and haven't discussed their childhoods at the White House with the press, with both of them based in Los Angeles, California.
