Waxman Staff Writer Aug 15, 2014 9:43 PM UTC In this video released by [The Clinton Foundation](https://www.youtube.com/user/clintonfoundationorg/about), _House of Cards_ star actor Kevin Spacey calls up former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to see if he can figure out what she is getting her husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, for his birthday. He suggests an elephant because [Hillary](http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-announces-program-aimed-at-stamping-out-elephant-poaching-ivory-trade/2013/09/26/3c258c40-26c1-11e3-b3e9-d97fb087acd6%5Fstory.html) and their daughter [Chelsea](https://www.facebook.com/chelseaclinton/posts/412390155527544) have been calling for increased efforts to curb elephant poaching for ivory in Africa. “This is a very personal decision I will make when I’m ready,” she responds, which is [what she says](http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/2014/07/17/hillary-clinton-president-2016-why-not/) when she is asked whether she will run for the White House. Then Spacey launches into a discussion of names for Chelsea’s baby like Frank, a reference to Frank Underwood, the conniving South Carolina Democrat he plays in the series, and Claire, his wife on the show who is played by Robin Wright. Bill Clinton turns 68 on August 19. **WATCH:** [Jimmy Fallon’s _House of Cards_ Spoof about NBC “House of Cue Cards”](http://time.com/3107542/jimmy-fallon-house-of-cards-parody-on-tonight-show/) ## Transcript [00:00] Hello. [00:02] Washington D. C. is so boring during the summer that I [00:05] like to entertain myself by well having some fun with [00:09] my predecessor. [ NOISE ] [00:13] Hello. Hi, Hill it's Bill. I just wanna make sure you don't [00:17] forget my, my birthday's coming up. Right? Yes, I know [00:19] Bill. Do, do you know what you're getting me? Yeah. I [00:22] told you. This is a very personal decision that I will [00:25] make when I'm ready. You know what darling, I'd really [00:28] love one of those elephants you're always talking about [00:30] saving, you know, for the backyard in Chappaqua [00:33] Don't you think that could be a little dangerous for our [00:35] dogs? Well, what about a baby elephant? Look, [00:39] we have to talk about this baby name for Chelsea. [00:42] Now, I was thinking. If it's a boy, we should encourage [00:46] them to name him Frank. And if it's a girl, what do you [00:49] think about Claire? Well I was actually thinking of [00:51] pushing for the name Kevin if it's a boy. Kevin, will you [00:56] please just sign my husband's birthday card already?
