Item Description
13.25x21". Stiff cardboard. In 1960, when JFK was elected president, he vacated his Massachusetts senate seat. Ted would not be eligible to fill his brother's vacant seat until Feb. 22, 1962, when he would turn 30. Therefore, the president-elect asked Massachusetts Governor Foster Furcolo to name a Kennedy family friend Benjamin A. Smith II to fill out John's term (under the authority of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution and state law). This kept the seat open for Ted. In 1962, Kennedy was elected to the senate from Massachusetts in a special election. He was elected to a full 6-year term in 1964 and was re-elected in 1970 and continues to hold that position to this day. Couple small edge nicks. Two tack holes at top corners. Clean and extremely Fine.
