Have they ever removed a body from Arlington? He doesn’t deserve to be there. Is Robert there too?

RFK unfortunately is there, too.

Only removal case of which I’m aware, from December 1997 when, of course, DIRT-X-POTUS42 was in DC:

“Confronted with mounting evidence that M. Larry Lawrence, the late Ambassador to Switzerland, had fabricated a heroic World War II record, his widow decided today to have his remains exhumed from Arlington National Cemetery, where he was granted burial under an unusual waiver.”

I checked wiki. Robert is in Arlington so all 4 Kennedy brothers are there due to their military service.

There probably have been removals. My mother in law was buried in Arlington in October 2016, as the spouse of a veteran. Her husband is still living. He had to sign an agreement that he would be buried with her. If not, she would have to be removed and buried elsewhere, at our expense, of course.

This is a different situation, but there were a couple of other stipulations in the agreement that could cause removal. For instance, if the body was cremated, you had to swear that 100% of the cremains would be buried. No keeping a memento of the person in a little vial. If they discovered that less than 100% was buried, you would have to remove and inter elsewhere.

I don't know if it's the same for all national cemeteries, but that is the situation in Arlington.
