Caroline Kennedy is expected to be nominated U.S. ambassador to Japan, but the nomination is not yet finalized, a knowledgeable source told ABC News Monday.
Kennedy, the only living child of President John F. Kennedy, is a lawyer and author of 10 books, including a text on the Bill of Rights and a collection of her mother's favorite poems.
In the past election cycle, Kennedy campaigned for President Obama at several events in swing state New Hampshire. She contributed to the Obama campaign narrative that Mitt Romney would have been the wrong candidate for women.
She endorsed Obama back in January 2008 in an op-ed that compared him to her father. During the 2008 election, she led the effort to pick Vice President Joe Biden.
She was strongly considered to be next in line to take Hillary Clinton's Senate seat in New York when she withdrew to serve as secretary of state in January 2009, but at the last minute, Kennedy took herself out of consideration for that position, because of a "very private family matter." A book about the life of her uncle, Ted Kennedy, suggests her children might have been the reason she opted out.
