'''John Fitzgerald Kennedy''', often called '''JFK''', (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963) was the 35^th [[President of the United States of America]], serving for 1000 days in 1961-63.  He was the youngest person elected president and one of the most glamorous and beloved. He did not accomplish a great deal. The [[Kennedy Family]] had long been leaders of the Irish Catholic wing of the [[Democratic Party]]; JFK was middle-of-the-road on domestic issues and conservative on foreign policy, sending military forces into Cuba and Vietnam.
