Caroline Bouvier Kennedy[1][2] (born November 27, 1957)[3] is an American author, attorney, and diplomat who served as the United States Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017.[4] She is a prominent member of the Kennedy family and the only surviving child of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.
Caroline Kennedy was just short of her sixth birthday when her father was assassinated on November 22, 1963. The following year, Caroline, her mother, and brother settled on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where she attended school. Kennedy graduated from Radcliffe College and worked at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she met her future husband, exhibit designer Edwin Schlossberg. She went on to receive a J.D. degree from Columbia Law School. Most of Kennedy's professional life has spanned law and politics, as well as education reform and charitable work. She has also acted as a spokesperson for her family's legacy and co-authored two books on civil liberties with Ellen Alderman.
Early in the primary race for the 2008 presidential election, Kennedy and her uncle Ted endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama for President; she later stumped for him in Florida, Indiana, and Ohio, served as co-chair of his Vice Presidential Search Committee, and addressed the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.[5]
After Obama selected United States Senator Hillary Clinton to serve as Secretary of State, Kennedy expressed interest in being appointed to Clinton's vacant Senate seat from New York, but she later withdrew from consideration, citing "personal reasons." Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand ultimately replaced Clinton as the junior New York Senator. In 2013, President Obama appointed Kennedy as the United States ambassador to Japan.[6]

Caroline Kennedy made a good name for herself outside of her lineage. It must be difficult for the children of high achieving Americans who win high office to get out into the workforce.

Maj Marty Hogan: GOOD Morning, Marty! I simply put: did not know all of these highly high caliber things (for lack of a better word) about Caroline Bouvier Kennedy. I highly admire Ms. Caroline Bouvier Kennedy in her own right....and, not just because she is the daughter of our late Great President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. MAY GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF ETERNALLY REST YOUR SOUL; DEAR, BELOVED AND ADORED PRESIDENT JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY.
-With My Warmest Regards for You, Marty- Margaret

Morning Marty. Week end over, families gone home. Time for a day of R&R for wife and me. Takes a lot out of a person for events like this past week. Told wife she needs to stop these big events. Age catching up. Interesting people you are sending info on. We got some of the best right now with their sexual habits. Amazing me, the Democrats do it and get a pass. Republicans catch hell. Have a great day.
