Their immediate family was the First Family of the United States from 1993 to 2001.

The Clintons are the first married couple to each be nominated for president. She was defeated in the election by television personality, real estate mogul and businessman Donald Trump.
context_section_description: While living in the White House the Clintons had two pets: a cat named Socks and a dog named Buddy. Socks, born about 1989, was adopted by the Clintons in 1991. The cat was left under the care of Bill Clinton's secretary Betty Currie, residing with her until Socks' death on February 20, 2009, euthanized due to cancer of the jaw. Buddy, a Labrador Retriever born on August 7, 1997, was acquired by the Clintons on December 5, 1997. Buddy was named after Clinton's late great uncle Henry Oren Grisham, nicknamed "Buddy". The Clintons kept Buddy after they left the White House in January 2001 however the dog was hit by a car on January 2, 2002, and died. The two pets were reported to not get along. Clinton adopted a new dog in 2005, whom he named Seamus.
