A Biography of President Bill Clinton

William Jefferson Clinton was born to William Jefferson Blythe and Virginia (Dwire) Blythe Clinton on August 19,1946. Clinton's father, William Jefferson Blythe had died in an automobile accident three months prior to the birth of his son. As a result Clinton's first three years were spent in the house of his grandmother Edith Cassidy. His mother Virginia, who was a lively and fun loving person, was always away from home often due to nursing classes in which she was attending. It was during this time that Clinton's grandmother who was a strong disciplinarian took the opportunity to shape his character.
His mother later married Roger Clinton, a used car dealer in 1951 and they all moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas where Clinton attended the Hot Springs High school. The school Principal Johnnie Mae Mackey became his mentor. Clinton was sent to Washington D.C. to a political convention sponsored by the American legion. It was on this trip that Clinton decided he would make his mother's prediction of him becoming a president a reality.
