Presidential Progeny

President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, step onto the stage at Grant Park, holding the hands of their two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, on Nov. 4, 2008. The girls will be the youngest children to live in the White House in 30 years. Here's at others who have experienced growing up as "first children."

President Bush's twin daughters, Barbara, left, and Jenna, walk past reporters before departing the White House for Camp David, Dec. 21, 2002. The girls, who were 19 when their father became president, did not live at the White House, but were known to chafe at their Secret Service protection.

Chelsea Clinton arrived at the White House at the age of 12 and spent the rest of her teenage years as first daughter. In her awkward teenage years, Chelsea became the target of an unkind joke on "Saturday Night Live."

President Jimmy Carter's daughter, Amy, carries a book bag as she walks to Thaddeus Stevens School for her first day of classes, Washington, Jan. 24, 1977. The choice between public or private schools has been an issue of debate for many White House parents. Carter, who only served one term, famously sent 9-year-old Amy to public school.

Susan Ford, daughter of President Gerald Ford, and her escort, Billy Pifer, 21, from Winchester, Va., dance during the Holton Arms School senior prom held at the White House on May 31, 1975. As a teenager, in a mini-revolt, Susan dodged the Secret Service for a brief taste of freedom. "Maybe a few times I wished my father were just a congressman. But in fact, I wouldn't trade it for anything."

President Lyndon Johnson's daughter Luci stops on the White House steps to pet the family's beagles as she leaves for school, Sept. 17, 1964. Luci, who spent her teenage years in the White House, attended National Cathedral School of Girls.

President John F. Kennedy holds out a pencil toward his 18-month-old son John Jr., who takes a few steps in the Oval Office of the White House on May 25, 1962. John Jr. so liked the hiding place in his father's desk that he had to be removed occasionally by an aide before important business could be done.

Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy with children John Jr. and Caroline and their dogs on vacation, on June 1, 1963. Doug Wead, a former aide to President George H.W. Bush and author of "All the President's Children," says Jackie Kennedy was so concerned about keeping her kids safe and out of view that she organized kindergarten for Caroline inside the White House.

Quentin, left, and Archibald Roosevelt, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, play with Frances B. Johnston's camera during a photo session outside the White House around 1902. While living in the White House, Quentin, a notorious troublemaker, ran his toy wagon straight through a priceless painting of a first lady, and nearly topped a 350-pound bust of Martin Van Buren.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth looks over the bust of her late father, President Theodore Roosevelt, after the statue was unveiled formally in the Gould Memorial Library on the campus of New York University, May 9, 1954. As a child, Alice got into so many shenanigans that her father was quoted as saying, "I can do one of two things. I can be president of the United States, or I can control Alice."

The wife of President Rutherford Hayes, Lucy, son Scott, daughter Fannie, standing, and a friend pose for the camera in the White House conservatory. Hayes served as the country's 19th president from 1877-1881.

Ulysses S. Grant and his son, Jesse, stand on the porch of their home in Galena, Ill., around 1865, upon his return from the Civil War. Jesse spent his teen years in the White House.

President Abraham Lincoln poses with his son Tad in an undated photo. As a youngster in the White House, Tad's antic included hitching two goats to a chair and driving it into a sitting room where his unamused mother was giving a tour. He also discovered how to make all of the White House bells ring at the same time -- much to the surprise of the entire staff and residents of the building.
