If the Clintons were to move back into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the first daughter, Chelsea, would presumably take on the traditional responsibilities of the first lady, an expert on the White House tells Daily Mail Online.
'There is a social function to the first lady's role, and that will not go away,' C-SPAN co-CEO Susan Swain said. 'Diplomacy' is conducted through social settings, 'and it is important to have somebody in that role.'
Several first daughters have filled the role of hostess in place of their mothers, throughout American history, Swain, the producer of C-SPAN's acclaimed series on America's first ladies and the author of a book on the same subject, said, noting that there is precedent for such an arrangement.
'The best guesstimate with the Clintons is that Chelsea Clinton would take over that role,' Swain said.

I would have thought that the First Lady would be Huma Abedin.
Don’t you just love this email scandal of hers? Obvious blatant violation of the law and it’s all ignored just like her criminal negligence over Benghazi.
Chelsea as First Lady. Now there’s a thought. What with Mrs. Bill’s past with Eldie in college and Huma now, that conjures up some rather esoteric possibilities, though not a hell of a lot stranger than Reggie Love in the White House and the Stick Shift Tranny lying in the Oval closet.
First Lady????
Not a chance.
WARNING: If you have a heart condition STOP READING THIS POST IMMEDIATELY.
OK, I heard a rumor that Hillary plans to make Chelsea the Secretary of Defense.
You heard it here first. Pass it on. Try to get the MSM to pick it up and run with it.
OK, I confess. I’m starting this rumor right here, right now. But it’s for good cause.
Madame Nhu, sister in law of Ngo Dinh Diem, and wife of Ngo Dinh Nhu, was essentially the “first lady” of South Viet Nam, before the coup that ended in the assassination of Diem in October 1963. It was not for nothing that Madame Nhu earned the title of “Dragon Lady”.
Chelsea is a fine example of “Dragon Spawn”.
Naw, he’ll be in charge of Women’s Affairs
They pretty sexist with that line of thinking.
Why can’t the husband shoulder the social role?
1988: Bush (GHW)
1992: Clinton (Bill)
2000: Bush (GW)
2008: Obama (Barack)
2016: Clinton (Hillary)
2020: Bush (Jeb)
2024: Obama (Michelle)
2030: Clinton (Chelsea)
2034: Bush (George Prescott)
Hillary is just waiting for the right moment to announce her divorce with Bill.
She will get nearly every divorced woman’s vote in sympathy and backlash against those pig-men they have to endure in loveless marriages.
If you think “war on women” is sickening enough, just wait.
Mark my words.
Bill will be busy supervising the interns.

There's nothing wrong with tradition for our leaders but they hate it unless
it involves money, sex, and power. America needs a cleansing of our Capitol.

Nope. The country would never make it to 2020. If Hillary is the next president she will be the last president.
They mean Chelsea Hubbell, of course.
Amazing..35 posts, and not ONE “Charlotte’s Web” reference
I don’t get it.
It’s “Hubbell.”
I think it is likely far left radicals will run this country from now on. The dems have a lock on a lot of electoral votes plus they can steal the rest.
Bill Clinton is far more sociable than Chelsea based on what I’ve seen. Sounds sexist to me.
