'''John Fitzgerald Kennedy''', often called '''JFK''' (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963), was the 35th [[President of the United States of America]], serving for 1,036 days until he was assassinated in 1963. He was the youngest person elected president ([[Theodore Roosevelt]] being the youngest to assume the office) and is among one of the most glamorous and popular presidents in American history. His record of presidential accomplishments remains a subject of debate among historians and the public, but after his assassination he became a legendary figure in whom admirers saw the ideals of American mythology incarnated.  Meanwhile, the leading [[Christian]] writer of the 20th century -- [[C.S. Lewis]] -- died the very same day that JFK was assassinated.

An inept, lazy president who spent much of his time womanizing, President Kennedy was middle-of-the-road on domestic issues and [[conservative]] on foreign policy.  He nominated [[Byron White]] to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], who turned out to be [[pro-life]].  As to foreign policy, Kennedy sent military forces into [[Vietnam]] and was somewhat hawkish against [[communist]] [[Cuba]].  In [[Congress]] the [[Conservative Coalition]] blocked nearly all of his domestic programs, so there were few domestic policy changes while the civil rights movement gained strength.
