Chelsea Clinton may run for public office if she felt she'd be able to make a "meaningful" and "measurably greater impact" at some point in the future, but there's another job (which offers the same rewards and more) that she wants to take on in the immediate future—being a mom.

The 33-year-old and her father, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, were interviewed for the November issue of Glamour magazine, and when Chelsea was asked how her grandmother passing away pushed her and her husband Marc Mezvinsky to examine what they wanted out of their lives, she made it very clear that starting a family was the most important.

"We sat down and said, 'Here's what we want to do,'" Clinton began to tell the magazine. "The first thing on the list was simple: We want, God willing, to start a family. So we decided we were going to make 2014 the Year of the Baby. And please, call my mother and tell her that. She asks us about it every single day."

(Dear Hillary Clinton: Your daughter plans to start a family next year. That is all. Oh wait, and more selfies, please.)

Along with starting a family, Chelsea wants to make sure that she is helping create the right environment for her future kids.

"My grandmother was determined that everyone feel a sense of optimism and opportunity. Marc and I want to make sure we're doing that. This period of our lives is not just a tribute to her, it's inspired by her. And it's for when we have our own children—I want to help make sure we've got a world I want them to live in."
