Which President's daughter was sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Japan in 2013?

Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, born November 27, 1957, is an American author, attorney, and diplomat who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017. She is the only surviving child of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

After President Barack Obama selected U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton to serve as Secretary of State, Kennedy expressed interest in being appointed to Clinton's vacant Senate seat from New York. She later withdrew from consideration, citing "personal reasons."

On July 24, 2013, President Obama announced Kennedy as his nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Japan to succeed Ambassador John Roos. The prospective nomination was first reported in February 2013. In July 2013, formal diplomatic agreement to the appointment was received from the Japanese government.

On September 19, 2013, Kennedy sat before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and responded to questions from both Republican and Democratic senators regarding her potential appointment. Kennedy explained that her focus would be military ties, trade, and student exchange if selected for the position. She was confirmed in October by unanimous consent as the first female U.S. Ambassador to Japan and was sworn in by Secretary of State John Kerry on November 12.

Not wanting to serve under a Trump administration, Kennedy resigned as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan before Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the U.S. She formally left Japan on January 18, 2017.
