The First Kids of U.S. presidents dictate fashion trends, jet set around the world meeting dignitaries, and sometimes host senior prom in the White House East Room. You know, normal kid stuff.

To celebrate the Fourth of July — which happens to be Malia Obama's birthday — we checked out what the First Children are up to these days.

Caroline Kennedy serves as the U.S. ambassador to Japan.
Last fall, Caroline Kennedy landed a role perfectly suited to her lifetime of training in diplomacy — as the U.S. ambassador to Japan. But she stirred a Twitter controversy when she publicly condemned the annual dolphin hunt, a Japanese tradition.
The former attorney, 56, also serves as president of the JFK Presidential Library and has written nine New York Times best-selling books on constitutional law, American history, and poetry.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Chelsea Clinton, who serves as a special correspondent for NBC and a driving force behind her parents' philanthropy, the Clinton Global Initiative.

News to me. I've seen several First Kids come and go and don't recall any who "dictated fashion trends" or were considered examples to follow in any way.
Sasha may not be adorable but at least she smiles once in a while. Malaria looks mad all the time. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
The Obama daughters usually spend part of the summer at a camp in central NH on Newfound Lake. The father of a friend is hired by the Secret Service every year to help patrol the lake in front of the summer camp.
What ever happened to Amy Carter? She seems to have slipped away into private life.
As far as Caroline Kennedy, how do you say: Ya Known, in Japanese?
“Sasha Obama just turned 13.”
Maybe she is out looking for a job detasseling corn. You have to be 13 to do that.
He went with Michelle and one daughter, and the other was somewhere else. An odd family - on Father’s Day, they can’t spend it together, and they have the nerve to lecture and control us?
They should, except they are not in the coveted 9-84 age group.
Bush daughter just as lib as Webb’s daughter
Obviously not looks, intelligence or character.
No one who is pro-abortion “turned out well.”
Ok, who was pro abortion?
All of them, Republican and Democrat.
I’ll believe that when I see proof of it.
I hope you don’t doubt that every one of the Democrats is pro-abortion.
