Lets say Jackie like Nellie was quick thinking and the moment she noticed JFK clutch his throat from the first shot, pulled him to her lap saving him from the fatal bullet.

Unfortunately for JFK that first bullet pretty much cripples him for life and he will need much assistance in breathing. End result is he is the first president to resign for ill health.
 
The bullet was to the right of the spinal cord and exited the throat. After initial repair, it won't cause anything massive in all likelihood, let alone things like paralysis or lung damage or what have you.

On other matters, this has already been well debated if you can find other threads. I myself and doing a timeline on it, and when I get over some issues will continue on with said timeline. There have been other discussions, though, the most recent of which being the "If JFK Survives, Would we still like him" thread deal.
