U.S. President Barack Obama has not been invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding, which are being held in upstate New York this weeekend, MSNBC reports Thursday.

Chelsea is the daughter of former president Bill Clinton and the current State Secretary Hillary Clinton.

“I was not invited to the wedding,” Obama said on ABC's "The View", airing Thursday. “because I think Hillary and Bill, properly, want to keep this thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be husband.”

Obama made a visit to the ladies of “The View” Wednesday afternoon to tape an episode. Among all the questions, the five female hosts couldn't resist this burning one: Will the president be at Chelsea Clinton's wedding?

Obama started out by joking, “You don’t want two presidents at one wedding!"

Obama said he agreed with the sentiment and told the hosts and the audience, “Sorry, ya'll probably will not be getting invited to Sasha’s wedding or Malia’s wedding, either.”
