Biography
|
Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Welch Bush (born November 25, 1981, in Dallas, Texas) are the fraternal twin daughters of U.S. president George W. Bush and Laura Bush. Barbara is the elder sister.
They are arguably the first First Twins, as the first twin children of a sitting President.
Jenna, the blonde, is named after her maternal grandmother and attended the University of Texas at Austin. Barbara, the brunette, is named after her paternal grandmother and attended her father's and grandfather's alma mater, Yale University. Jenna has said that she wants to become a teacher in Washington, D.C. and Barbara is reported to have plans to work with AIDS sufferers in Africa.
Drinking incidents
Both daughters had incidents involving underage drinking. On April 27, 2001 Jenna Bush was charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol in the East Sixth Street entertainment district of Austin. On May 29, 2001 Jenna was charged with trying to use a third party's identification (fake ID) to purchase alcohol at Chuy's, a popular Mexican restaurant near the University of Texas campus. At the same incident, Barbara Bush was charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol. They both pleaded no contest to all charges. Underage drinking (under 21 years) amongst American college students is illegal but so widespread that detractors of the Bush family rarely raise the issue.
On July 6, 2001, for the false identification charge, Jenna was ordered to pay $100, perform 36 hours of community service, and attend a session where victims of alcohol-related crimes speak. For the underage drinking charge, Jenna was fined $500 and her driver's license was suspended for 30 days.
On July 15, 2004, The Times reported that "White House aides breathed an almost audible sigh of relief when the girls turned 21 (in 2002) and could buy alcohol legally," thereby avoiding any further embarassments to their father.
