The presidential residence also includes a bowling alley, which Melania Trump renovated, a basketball court, a restaurant, and a chocolate shop.

First children also have free rein of the White House grounds to wander the gardens or play outside with their presidential pets.

Children who've called the White House home include Bill Clinton's daughter, Chelsea; Jimmy Carter's daughter, Amy; and John F. Kennedy's children, John Jr. and Caroline.

Nine children of presidents have gotten married at the White House: Maria Hester Monroe, John Adams II, Elizabeth Tyler, Nellie Grant, Alice Lee Roosevelt, Jessie Woodrow Wilson, Eleanor Randolph Wilson, Lynda Bird Johnson, and Tricia Nixon.

Susan Ford, then 17, even hosted her high school prom at the White House in 1975, the first — and, as of now, only — prom to be held there, Vanity Fair reported.

While the president's airplane and other modes of transportation are only referred to as Air Force One, Marine One, and the like when the president is on board, first ladies and kids also get to ride them.

Air Force One has three levels and 4,000 square feet of interior floor space. That includes a conference room, dining room, and private quarters with a gym for the president. There is also a medical operating room, offices for staff, and two food-preparation galleys that can provide 100 meals.

"Sure, maybe a few times I wished my father was just a congressman," Susan Ford Bales, the daughter of former President Gerald Ford and Betty Ford, once said in an interview, CBS News reported.

"But in fact, I wouldn't trade it for anything," she continued. "The travels, the people you meet. From movie stars to heads of state. It was like, 'Oh my gosh, look who I'm meeting now!"'

The White House executive chef and executive pastry chef are primarily hired to serve the first family, which includes the kids, and to prepare food during official White House functions.

However, while first kids have access to the five full-time chefs who work in the White House, they likely can't order an unlimited supply of their favorite foods because the first family actually foots the bill for their food.

"They let you get whatever you want," Michelle Obama told Jimmy Kimmel in 2018. "And then you get the bill for a peach and it's like, 'That was a $500 peach!' I would tell Barack, 'Do not express pleasure for anything until I know how much it costs.'"

Although presidential kids can make temporary decorative changes to their rooms, given the historical significance of the White House they can't make any major structural changes to their living quarters.

"Some parts are essentially historic rooms and belong to the American people, not to the families who live there," Kate Andersen Brower, the author of "First Women: The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies," told ABC News in 2016.

The Postal Revenue and Federal Salary Act of 1967, also called the Bobby Kennedy Law, was intended to curb political nepotism and prevent the family members of sitting presidents from obtaining powerful positions in the executive branch.

However, first children have still continued to hold positions in the White House. Most notably, Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, both worked as advisors to President Donald Trump, but they took no salary.

"The antinepotism law apparently has an exception if you want to work in the West Wing because the president is able to appoint his own staff," Kellyanne Conway, then a Trump staffer, told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" in 2016. "Of course, this came about to stop maybe family members from serving on the Cabinet, but the president does have discretion to choose a staff of his liking."

The United States Secret Service offers around-the-clock protection to the spouses and children of the US president and vice president.

Children of non-sitting presidents are only ensured protection until they turn 16 years old. Presidents can petition for continued security after they leave office.

After he left office in January 2021, Donald Trump extended Secret Service protection for his four adult children for another six months, The Washington Post reported. His youngest son, Barron, has also been under the protection of the Secret Service since he began attending New York University.

Two former first children went on to become president: John Quincy Adams and George W. Bush. While a first kid becoming president isn't exactly common, multiple first children have entered politics after their fathers left office.

Jeb Bush, the second son of George H.W. Bush, went on to serve as the 43rd governor of Florida and launched his own presidential campaign in 2015. Chelsea Clinton also said a future for her in politics was a "definite maybe" in 2018, The Guardian reported.
