Early life and background

Bill Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III on August 19, 1946, at Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, Arkansas, the son of William Jefferson Blythe Jr., a traveling salesman, and Virginia Dell Cassidy. His mother left to study nursing in New Orleans soon after his birth, and he stayed with her parents, Eldridge and Edith Cassidy, who ran a small grocery store.

His mother later married Roger Clinton Sr., who owned an automobile dealership. The family moved to Hot Springs in 1950, and at 15 he formally adopted the Clinton surname. He played tenor saxophone, won first chair in the state band, and was an active student leader at Hot Springs High School.

Two moments in 1963 pushed him toward public life: meeting President Kennedy at the White House and watching Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Have a Dream speech. He studied at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, where he was elected class president and worked as a clerk in the office of Senator J. William Fulbright. He then won a Rhodes scholarship to University College, Oxford, and left early to study at Yale Law School.

Personal life

Clinton is married to Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he met at Yale Law School. She served as US Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.
