If there ever was a more powerful name to introduce yourself, Julie Nixon Eisenhower has it. Honestly, with the surnames of two presidents making up your full name, others must feel extremely intimidated after meeting you and exchanging names. Julie Nixon is the youngest child of Richard Nixon and Pat Nixon. Thanks to the inventions of Mamie Eisenhower, the two started dating in 1966.
Two years later, the power couple married, and Julie Nixon became Julie Nixon Eisenhower. While Julie Nixon Eisenhower was given every opportunity to discard her father’s last name, Nixon, and remove herself from “Watergate,” Julie still kept her father’s old name. However, the youngest Nixon child did not go into politics. Instead, she became an editor, working as an assistant manager of “The Saturday Evening Post.”
Chip Carter
It is hard for the family members of the first family to remain out of the public eye. I mean, who doesn’t want to know all the ins and outs and juicy details of the first family? However, there are some political personalities that have managed to keep the public completely out of their business, and Chip Carter is one of those individuals.
In 1950 James Earl "Chip" Carter III was born, but the Carter son is more known as Chip Carter. He is one of the four children that the former president, Jimmy Carter, and former first lady, Roselyn Carter, had together. There were three sons and one daughter. When Jimmy Carter took the office in White House, the Secret Service gave Chip Carter the code name “Diamond.”
Rose Kennedy
Simply because this lady lived to be 104 years old, she deserves a mention. And on top of that, Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald Kennedy had nine children. Where on earth did this lady get her stamina from? It is a pure mystery, but the Secret Service should have given Rose Kennedy the name “Stamina” because this woman had buckets of it.
Sadly, her stamina and longevity meant that she had to witness tragedy after tragedy, including the assassination of her second eldest, JFK, two of her children dying before the age of 30, and losing yet another child, Robert, to an assassination. Rose Kennedy had witnessed a lot before her passing in 1995. The Secret Service should have rightly called her “Stamina,” but she was given the code name “Coppertone.”
Michael Ford
Born Michael Gerald Ford, but more commonly referred to as Mike Ford, the eldest child of the former US President Gerald Ford and former First Lady Betty Ford, has not followed in his father’s footsteps. Perhaps, the Secret Service knew something others didn’t when they assigned Mike Ford the code name “Professor.” Ford was only 24 at the time. Now, he works as an Associate Director at Wake Forest University.
I mean, the Secret Service was not too off with the whole “Professor” code name. Ford is also a lay leader at First Presbyterian Church. The eldest Ford son lives in North Carolina, his home, which is interesting since his father hailed from Nebraska. Sometimes, the apple falls far from the tree, and with Mike Ford, the USSS knew it.
Marvin Bush
When most of your family are involved in politics, including your father, three brothers, and two sisters, it seems destined that you, too, will go into politics. However, that was not the case for Marvin Bush. Born Marvin Pierce Bush, more commonly known as Marvin Bush, in many ways, seems like the typical Bush son. He is a businessman who was the director of a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Yet, when it comes to politics, this Bush steers clear from politics. In fact, during the 2016 presidential election, instead of endorsing the Republican candidate Donald Trump, Marvin Bush showed his support for Libertine candidate Gary Johnson. During his father, George H. W Bush’s time in the White House, Marvin Bush was given the name “Tuner.”
