With incumbent New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton slated to become the US Secretary of State under President-elect Barack Obama, Caroline Bouvier Kennedy has expressed her interest to succeed Sen. Clinton and serve as the senator for New York once the seat is vacated.

Considering that her late father was Pres. John F. Kennedy and that her late uncle was Robert Kennedy (who also served as New York senator until his death in 1968), Caroline Kennedy is no stranger to politics. Her mother, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, was also a gracious First Lady. She also lived in the White House during her father’s presidency. Even with this impressive line of forbears the question, “does she have what it takes to become a senator?” is still in everyone’s mind.

Caroline Kennedy has a solid foundation of the law. She graduated from Columbia University Law School and is an active member of the bar in both Washington DC and New York. Aside from law and politics, Caroline Kennedy has also a great deal of experience in the field of education, with her credentials including her stint with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She also contributes to various charitable organizations.

Highly opinionated, Caroline Kennedy has been a forerunner for the legalization of gay marriages, gun control, and advocates the ban on assault weapons. Her political views are highly reflected in her books on civil liberties, In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action (1991) and The Right to Privacy (1995).

Is she ready to take on the senatorial seat and its responsibilities? Based from her experiences and her merits, she is capable of handling the obligations asked if given the mantle of the senate seat.
