At some point after John was elected President in 1960, Robert was appointed as his Attorney General. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

Polly Wright's Uncle Charles thought that the Kennedys were too liberal to become President. As a native of 1966, Polly had a hunch that Bobby became President and sold McDonald's to the United Kingdom when she visited 1994 with Ben Jackson, who disagreed. They briefly considered finding out how accurate the prediction was but decided better of it. (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People)

Near the end of his life, Bobby was elected to the United States Senate. (PROSE: Wonderland [+]Loading...["Wonderland (novel)"]) In 1968, (PROSE: Tricky Dicky [+]Loading...["Tricky Dicky (short story)"]) he was a candidate in that year's presidential election. David Arthurs and Bob Decker believed he would win, beating the potential Republican Party nominees of Nixon, Rockefeller and Reagan. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune [+]Loading...["The Devil Goblins from Neptune (novel)"])

Death and legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

Bobby did not become President. Instead, he was assassinated in 1968 after being shot down (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy [+]Loading...["Who Killed Kennedy (novel)"]) at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. (WC: Web of Lies [+]Loading...["Web of Lies (webcast)"]) Norman of the Latter-Day Pantheon told Steven Taylor that "a warning in the right ear" or "a well-timed call to the police" could have saved him. (PROSE: Salvation)

Steven, a native of the 24th century at the earliest, (PROSE: The Litttle Drummer Boy) was aware of Kennedy and his fate, enough to know that Robert was not yet dead by 1965 whereas John was. (PROSE: Salvation)

Alternate timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

In an alternate timeline envisioned by James Stevens, it was Jackie Kennedy that died in the 1963 assassination rather than John. This resulted in the world being plunged into nuclear war in January 1964. Robert was still serving as Attorney General during this time. Stevens also considered the possibility of Robert Kennedy becoming President if JFK had lived and done a second term. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

One of the crew of the Teselecta implied that "Kennedy" was an example of how time could be rewritten. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)
