Kerry is divorced not an annulment.

Kerry separated from his first wife, Julia Thorne, in 1983, and they finalized their divorce in 1988.

Many others, including Jackie Kennedy Onasis were excommunicated for divorce.

Really? I guess those were the good old days.

Kerry's ex-wife refused to allow an annulment.

Who did Jackie O divorce?

Jackie Kennedy was never divorced. She was married to two men, both of whom died when they were married to her.

Jackie's problem is that Onassis' first wife was still alive when they married. It was his divorce, not hers, but still the marriage was adulterous. IIRC.

Two different things. Divorce covers civil marriage; annulment means that the Church says the marriage was not valid. If you were married and got an annulment from the Church without a civil divorce, for all practical, legal, financial purposes (IRS, property, children, inheritance, etc.), you'd still be as married as ever, and the state wouldn't let you marry again (well, maybe in a bit, the way things are going . . .)

Jackie Kennedy was never excommunicated. Divorce is not grounds for excommunication, and never has been. Divorce and remarriage, without a decree of nullity, formerly was. As far as I recall, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was never divorced, much less divorced and remarried.

Divorce does not necessarily mean excommunication.

People are not excommunicated for divorce. They excommunicate themselves when they remarry without obtaining an annulment first.
