Daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Chelsea Clinton. As her mother focuses her attention on a presidential campaign, Clinton has zeroed in on the Clinton Foundation, championing the group's advocacy work in global health and childhood obesity. Previously, the Stanford grad worked as a special correspondent for NBC News.
Clinton, 35, and husband Marc Mezvinsky welcomed a little girl named Charlotte into their family last summer.
Son of Gerald and Betty Ford
Wild child Steven Ford, 59, joined the cast of television soap opera "The Young and The Restless" in 1981, playing P.I. Andy Richards. After six seasons and a role reprisal in 2002, he has since appeared in a number of films, including "Armageddon," "Black Hawk Down," "When Harry Met Sally," and "Transformers."
Ford recently ended his tenure as chairman of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation (though remains on the board of trustees), but continues to honor the legacy of his father's administration, speaking at town hall events and lectures around the country.
Daughter of John and Jackie Kennedy
After a lifetime of training in diplomacy, Caroline Kennedy landed the perfect job for her — as the US ambassador to Japan. But she stirred a Twitter controversy when she publicly condemned the annual dolphin hunt, a Japanese tradition.
The former attorney, 57, also serves as president of the JFK Presidential Library and has written nine best-selling books on constitutional law, American history, and poetry. Like her father's she's a strong advocate for free trade, and encourages democrats to take the same approach for the good of US-Asia relations.
Son of George H. W. and Barbara Bush
Jeb Bush also carved himself a place in politics as the former governor of Florida. Now he's making a run for the White House in 2016.
The 62-year-old Coral Gables, Florida, resident went from an early career in corporate to a later one in public office, first as as the chairman of the Dade County Republican Party and then as the governor of the Sunshine State.
He recently released 33 years of tax returns — the most ever made public by a presidential candidate — as a sign to voters that he values transparency.
Daughter of Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson
At 71, former first lady of Virginia Lynda Bird Johnson Robb is the oldest living child of a US president. In the '70s she chaired the President's Advisory Committee for Women to help carry out former President Jimmy Carter's mandate to promote gender equality.
Robb, whose father signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act, gave a speech at the 50th anniversary ceremony of the March on Washington, and attended the remembrance banquet for the 50th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" assault in Selma, Alabama. Robb is also openly pro same-sex marriage, and told Katie Couric in an interview last year that she believes her father would have been too.
Daughter of George W. and Laura Bush
The younger twin, Jenna Bush Hager is a correspondent for the "Today" show on NBC and a contributor to "NBC Nightly News." A UT – Austin alum, Bush Hager also finds time to serve as editor-at-large to Southern Living magazine and chair of UNICEF's Next Generation.
The 33-year-old is pregnant with her second daughter, due later this summer.
Son of Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman
Michael Reagan was adopted by the actor-cum-president and his first wife Jane Wyman just three years before the couple divorced. He is the last living child of this marriage.
The 70-year-old powerboat-racing enthusiast began his career as a salesman with an aerospace defense company, though later tried to follow his dad's footsteps in Hollywood. He finally found his niche as a political radio talk show host, and he hosted a talk show for over 26 years. He also wrote a number of memoirs, and regularly writes for The Baxter Bulletin and other news outlets.
Daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama
Not to be outdone by her older sister, Sasha Obama catches fashion bloggers' eyes every time she steps off Air Force 1. She and the Obama women are currently touring Europe to spread the word about the Let Girls Learn initiative.
After summer vacation, the president's younger daughter will return to the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. She performs with a dance group whose repertory includes ballet, modern dance, jazz, hip-hop, and Afro-Asian fusion.
Daughter of Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson

In an interview to Katie Couric last year, Johnson, 67, and her older sister Lynda Bird suggested that their late father would have supported same-sex marriage, as they do. Johnson and her husband, Ian Turpin, recently made a $1 million gift to support the LBJ School Washington Center established by the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin, whose inaugural class begins this fall. The gift will create fellowship and internship stipends for students of the school.
Daughter of Richard and Pat Nixon
Trisha Nixon Cox, 69, accompanied her father on many campaign stops and state trips during his presidency but has steered clear of the spotlight since starting a family more than 40 years ago.
The longtime stay-at-home mom serves on the board of the Richard Nixon Foundation and remains married to Edward Cox, whom she wed in the first wedding in the White House Rose Garden in 1971.
Son of George H. W. and Barbara Bush
He's not the first child of a president to become president, and he may not be the last, but his presidency is probably what he's best known for these days.
Like his father, and his father before him, George W. Bush launched his career in the oil industry, starting and selling the struggling Arbusto Energy company, among other successful ventures. Today the 68-year-old is enjoying retirement as a grandpa and an artist.
Daughter of Gerald and Betty Ford
President Ford's only daughter, Susan Ford, took up photography under the mentorship of White House photographer David Kennerly. She went on to become a photojournalist for news outlets including The Associated Press and Newsweek.

She has also been calling for better efforts to identify causes and cures to heart disease, after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest herself in 2013.
Daughter of Richard and Pat Nixon
A staunch and very vocal supporter of her father, especially after the Watergate scandal broke, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, 66, lives on a Pennsylvania farm away from the public eye. She was married to the late David Eisenhower, President Eisenhower's grandson, uniting two of the country's most powerful political families.
She wrote a biography about her mother, "Pat Nixon: The Untold Story," and helps manage her father's presidential library. She and her husband also authored a memoir about her grandfather-in-law, "Going Home to Glory: A Memoir of Life with Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961-1969."
Daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama
Not the same 11-year-old girl she was when her father took office, Malia Obama will depart the White House in 2016 as a fashion icon. She accompanies her mother and younger sister on diplomatic trips around the world — currently promoting the Let Girls Learn initiative across Europe — and makes headlines for her chic style.
Last summer, the president's eldest daughter spent a day interning under director Steven Spielberg and star Halle Berry's new CBS TV show, "Extant." An insider told The Wrap that Obama "helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take."
The 16-year-old turns 17 on the most patriotic day of the year: the Fourth of July.
Daughter of George W. and Laura Bush
Barbara Pierce Bush graduated from Yale with a degree in humanities and within five years cofounded Global Health Corps, a nonprofit that recruits young professionals to fight for better access to healthcare around the world.

Daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan
The first child of Ronald Reagan's marriage to Nancy, Patti Davis overcame a number of personal obstacles, including drug addiction, self-harm, and an eating disorder, and discovered her voice through her writing.
Her first semi-autobiographical fiction novel, however, upset many members of her family, and Davis became estranged from her parents until her father's Alzheimer's diagnosis, when they reconciled. Now 62, Davis has published more than half a dozen other works since the first, and her editorial on her father's shooter went viral.
Son of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter
John William "Jack" Carter, ran for the first major office the Carter Family has sought since 1980. He sealed the Democratic nomination for the US Senate seat but was unsuccessful against an incumbent Republican senator in the 2006 Nevada election.
Carter, 67, spent most of his career in the investment and finance industry.
Son of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter
Not much is known about what James Earl "Chip" Carter III, 65, is up to these days. He participated on the Democratic National Committee, pursued a variety of vague business ventures, and married three times.
His son — and grandson of President Carter — James Carter IV made headlines during the 2012 presidential election, having played a large role in the discovery of the "47%" video, which ostracized nominee Mitt Romney. But James Carter IV also received a personalized thank-you note from President Obama after this event, which is said to have had a hand in helping him get reelected.
Son of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter
Donnel Jeffrey "Jeff" Carter, 63, cofounded Computer Mapping Consultants, a computer mapping firm that became a consultancy for the World Bank in 1978. It later held foreign government contracts, though the company has since fizzled out.

Daughter of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter
Amy Lynn Carter Wentzel became a political activist in the '80s and '90s — and was even arrested at a CIA recruitment protest. Eventually she settled down, receiving her master's degree from Tulane and starting a family in the Atlanta area.
Carter, 47, went to work with her dad on "The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer," which President Carter wrote and she illustrated. She is also a board member of the human rights and diplomacy center her father established, The Carter Center.
Son of Ronald and Nancy Reagan
Ron Reagan, 57, has only ever known his father as a politician, but unlike his father has very different — which is to say, liberal — political views. The "unabashed atheist" recorded a comical PSA for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which ran during Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report."
The youngest Reagan, like his siblings, had tried his hand at a number of careers before arriving in journalism and joining MSNBC as a contributor.
