In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan that aired on Wednesday night, the former president was asked whether his wife or daughter would be better in the White House.
"Day after tomorrow, my wife because she's had more experience," Clinton said. "Over the long run, Chelsea. She knows more than we do about everything.
"There was a time in her childhood when I thought maybe she thought she did when she didn't, now it's highly embarrassing because she in fact does," he continued. "So, I feel like I'm going to school every day when we have a conversation."
The 33-year-old former first daughter has taken a larger role in the Clinton Global Initiative, which is holding its annual meeting in New York this week.
Last week during an appearance on "The Daily Show," Chelsea Clinton told Jon Stewart she's purposely avoided politics "for this point in my life," but left the door open for a possible future following in her parents' political footsteps.
And during a recent tour of Rwanda with the foundation, Chelsea was asked about her political ambitions. Her response:
Im ... grateful to live in a city and a state and a country where I really believe in my elected officials, and their ethos and their competencies. Someday, if either of those werent true and I thought I could make more of a difference in the public sector, or if I didnt like how my city or state or country were being run, Id have to ask and answer that question.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton insists he doesn't know whether Hillary will run for president.
"I don't," Clinton told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday. "Somebody may know, but I don't. I'm not one of the people who does."

Piers, Remember when Hillary bought those Cattle futures for $1,000 and made $100,000. Chelsea could have did it with $500.00.
