New York restaurant owner Nino Selimaj is no longer voting for Sen. Hillary Clinton after getting a letter from Bill Clinton's office demanding a photo of daughter Chelsea posing with Selimaj be removed from his Italian bistro's front window.

"I am really heartbroken," Selimaj told New York Post's Page Six. "Until this morning, I would have voted for Hillary. Bill was my favorite president of all time ... I really hope they will reconsider."

Clinton lawyer Douglas Band writes in the letter that Chelsea Clinton is a private citizen "who was not consulted prior to this picture being displayed, and thus, her permission was not given for you to do so. While she may have dined at your restaurant, this does not serve as an endorsement."

Selimaj said the picture had been in his window at Osso Buco in Greenwich Village for five years. Instead, he's going to now hang the letter.

Chelsea should be the one to decide, not Hillary.
