"I'll tell you because I'm always campaigning for the parties to get together and agree on something: President (George W.) Bush 43 became a grandfather just a few weeks before I did," Clinton said.

"He told me something on which there was complete agreement. He said, the most important thing you have to remember when you become a grandfather is, you immediately fall to last place on the family hierarchy."
