He never was President. Any presidential aspirations would have been short-circuited by the Chappaquidick tragedy, which resulted in the death of 28 year old Mary Jo Kopechne, an office worker. Really he should have been required to resign from politics right then and there, but... He survived and lived on as Senator for Massaschusetts almost up to his death.

Ted Kennedy did not resign from the presidency because he was never the president. He ran for the Democratic nomination in 1980 but lost to incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Kennedy served as a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts from 1962 until his death in 2009.
