WASHINGTON — Over the years, several U.S. presidents have been forced to ponder the delicate, sometimes unpleasant, question of whether to move the in-laws into the White House.

Ulysses Grant shared space with his father-in-law, who grumbled and squabbled with other relatives, historians say. Harry Truman lived with his mother-in-law, who said she knew "dozens of men better qualified" to preside over the Oval Office.

On Friday, the transition team of President-elect Obama confirmed that his 71-year-old mother-in-law would be moving, at least temporarily, into the grand residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Obama has said he would be delighted to have his wife's mother, Marian Robinson, join the first family in Washington.

"Mrs. Robinson will be coming with the family to help the girls get acclimated, and she will determine in the coming months whether or not she wants to stay in D.C. permanently," said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, spokeswoman for Michelle Obama.
