News of Jenna Bush's engagement has touched off a flurry of excitement at the prospect of a White House wedding.
So since the speculation is running rampant, why not carry it further and wonder if Chelsea Clinton could have one of her own in the years ahead?
Of course, that would require that her mother, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, first win the Democratic nomination in 2008 and then the general election; that Chelsea, returned to the role of First Daughter, would want a public ceremony--oh, and that she would be engaged (though Chelsea has a serious boyfriend, they have not reported any wedding plans).
Chelsea has played a muted, private, role in her mother's campaign so far. She works and lives in New York, and has not campaigned publicly for Clinton. Though she is an active participant in the Manhattan social scene, she generates no controversy, and does not tend to grant interviews.
But if she is part of a First Family once more, Chelsea will receive all the interest that Jenna and her twin, Barbara, have over the last seven years--if not more, as the only child in history to head home to the White House with both parents. Jenna, meanwhile, only put out a simple statement through her mother's press office announcing her engagement to Henry Hager, whom she has been dating since they met during the 2004 campaign.
