The 35th president of the United States was born in 1917. After service in the u.s. navy I n world war two. John Fitzgerald Kennedy ran for congress in Massachusetts then u.s. senate. Senator Kennedy in 1960 defeated then vice president in a very close election.

Kennedys first term was a hectic one has the admiration faced the Cuban missile crisis and the ole miss crisis.

The president narrowly survived a assaination attempt on November 22. `1963.

The bobby baker scandal forced Vice president Johnson to resign early in 1964.Presiden Kennedy easily won Renomination and Terry Sanford was his running mate.

Nelson Rockefeller on the republican side was close to nomination but lost to Barry gold Walter due to the


Happy scandal. Gold Walter picked Ford as his running mate who was Gaffe prone as he was. The election of 1964 was a blow out for President Kennedy and the Democrats retained many senate and house seats.


In the presidents second term. The civil rights act of 1964 was passed. Also .Medicaid and voting rights act was passed. Vietnam was limited to air raids and green berets. On television star trek staring Jeffrey Hunter and Leonard Nimoy were very popular fans watched the crew of the 1701 u.s.s. constition on a 5 year mission. In films planet of apes would beget a three year t.v. series starring Roddy McDowall.


Although plans for a u.s. u.s.s.r joint mission into space was shot down . Plans for a manned mission to the moon were underway.


By the end of Kennedy last term the admiration was quite popular and Sanford won nomination picking Hubert Humphrey as his running mate.George Wallace would launch a third party campaign. Sanford tried very hard but lost the election to Richard Nixon. Sanford appeared on laugh in after Nixon said sock it to me the vice president,Sanford replied i will sock it to you.,dick.

President Kennedy was not sure where to go after retirement. His old senate seat was taken by his younger brother Ted and the state of Massachusetts were unlikely to want two Kennedys serving their state. Robert Kennedy had the same problem he could run for governor or senator but ted was in the senate already.

In the end John Kennedy decided to write for the Boston globe and Robert would become a professor at Harvard. Jack would live to be 60 but Ted and Robert would live to see John f. Kennedy junior to become president of the united states in 2004 beating out President Mike Huckabee.


Many other people would become president of the greatest country of the free world before John Kennedy junior and for Richard Nixon it was a exciting time.


President Nixon visited china and legislation for the epa.


The 36th president defeated Senator Humphrey in a record landslide but the last term did not go smoothly for the president as he was forced to resign over the Watergate scandal.


Charles Percy would now become president of the United States.

President Eisenhower once predicted Charles Percy would become president of the United States. He never however predicted the circumstances .President Percy was born n 1919 and worked for Bell & Howell in 1938.lost governorship of lionise in 1964 but elected to senate in 1967.

President Percy would sign Helsinki accords and sign legislation for a housing and development program in united states.


Current president Mike Steele says Percy is the reason he is president today .Many historians say President t Percy although his tenure as president was brief kept the moderate wing of the party alive.

Senator Eugene McCarthy was now his opponent in 1976 in one of the closet races ever. Benjamin spock ran a third party campaign and asked martin luther king to be his running mate but he declined. Mcarthy defeated President Percy in 1976 but his term was a hectic one. Oil prices in America skyrocketed and hostage were taken captive in Iran.


Former Governor of California Ronald Reagan defeated President McCarthy but he could not stall the recession and lost election to john Glenn. Slowly but surely the economy improved. After 12 years of democratic rule president Como was defeated by Texas governor Ross Perot who would lose to Mike Huckabee,
