WASHINGTON (AP) Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton are in Oxford, England, this weekend to attend the graduation ceremonies of their daughter, Chelsea.
Chelsea Clinton will receive her doctorate degree in international relations on Saturday from the prestigious British university. Her father was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford from 1968 to 1970.
The graduation ceremony comes as her mother is considering a potential 2016 presidential campaign.
The 34-year-old Clinton is reaching a number of milestones this year. In addition to her doctorate, Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are expecting their first child in the fall. And she has taken a more public role at her family's Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, where she serves as vice chairwoman.
If her mother runs for president, the younger Clinton could be an asset in connecting with younger voters and members of her generation.

I don’t know if she took her husband’s name or not.
Maybe she’s taking after her mom, who didn’t take the name Clinton when she and Bill were first married. Hillary wanted to make a political statement, I’m sure, by doing that.
Ph.D.s in anything other than maths or sciences are a joke. Anybody with half a brain can get one. It's just that most people don't have the luxury of pissing away four years of their life for a worthless degree like Chelsea does.
I have a sister-in-law who got a Ph.D. in Great Lake Studies from a state school. She now signs everything Dr. Sister-In-Law. Her Christmas card envelopes have a return address of Sister-In-Law, Ph.D. Meanwhile, I'm now working with a guy who has a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Harvard. He's a guy who deserves to have a Dr. in front of his name yet insists that everyone address him as Michael.
It's pretty much true for Master's degrees too. I was required to get one because I am a public school teacher in Massachusetts, but my degree isn't even in the same hemisphere as a real one in science or math. Yes I wrote a lot of papers and read a lot of books and jumped through a lot of hoops, but I don't consider myself to have a real Master's degree.
When will we get to read Chelsea's dissertation? (Maybe it was written by one of the ghost writers the Clinton family keeps on retainer.)
This was a black tie event. Just saying...
But we didn't know then that she had been poor.
Does anyone really believe that Chelsea Clinton is in touch with her generation? Has she ever done anything of interest or value separate and apart from her parents?
Chelsea might very well be the best of the lot because they basically ignored her...'cept for photo ops.
Maybe leather pants and heels are substitutes for the long dress in our new communist society.
Ill concede this: Meghan McCain is hot. Baby got back!
Yea, in a sort of Rosie O’Donnell way.
