Chelsea Victoria Clinton (born February 27, 1980) is the daughter and only child of former Arkansas Governor and U.S. President Bill Clinton and former United States Senator, First Lady and current United States Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Clinton was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. Her name was inspired by her parents' fondness for Judy Collins' 1969 recording of the Joni Mitchell song "Chelsea Morning".
