John F. Kennedy was President of the United States for only two years and ten months, and yet, 47 years after his assassination in Dallas, his legend endures. Kennedy was elected President in 1960 — making him, at age 43, the youngest elected U.S. President.
But John was not the only one of Joe Kennedy's sons who was adept at politics. His brothers, Robert and Ted, were equally precocious. Robert Kennedy served as U.S. Attorney General — providing the Civil Rights Movement with much needed government support — from 1962 until 1964, when he resigned to run for U.S. Senate. It's difficult to say whether Bobby Kennedy would have won the 1968 U.S. Presidential election had he not been assassinated.
Ted Kennedy entered politics at age 30, when he filled the Senate seat once held by his brother John. He was working on the Senate floor when he learned of John's death in 1963, and he endured a "Draft Ted" campaign after Robert's in 1968 (which he declined). Instead, he served Congress for 47 years before dying of a brain tumour in 2009.
