So many threads about what if JFK had not been assassinated focus on JFK serving two full terms as President and on what his second term would have been like.

But what about his post-White House years? According to things he said to some of his closest friends, and to some of his private papers, he was thinking about the possibility of a post-Presidential run for The US Senate. Not for the seat his brother Ted held and still holds today, but for the other Senate seat from Mass.

Along with my thread on what if Bobbie had never run for president, What would it be like having all three surviving Kennedy brothers serving together in The US Senate? Would The American people accept all three serving together in The Senate? Would the people of Mass elect both Jack and Ted to The Senate? Would the people of NY elect Bobby to The Senate if Jack and Ted were both Senators from Mass?

By now (2008) Jack would be 91, so would he still be in The Senate or would he have retired? Remember, their mother lived to be 103 years old.

Just some thoughts as to an alternate history on the subject.
