John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. He was assassinated on November 22, 1964 in Dallas, Texas while driving to another speech. JFK, his wife and the governor of Texas, John Connolly were driving in a convertible which was a terrible mistake. He had almost no protection from the hundreds of people around him. Anybody could have hurt him.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who had defected from the Marines shot him. One bullet when through JFK’s neck and out his throat, the other went through the back of his head and into the governor. The governor lived, but JFK did not. Lee Harvey Oswald was never convicted because he was shot while being transported. Harvey was shot by a club owner named Jack Ruby.
The Warren Report stated that there was only one shooter; although, many believed there may have been two. There were three shots, with two hits and one miss. I have watched the video many times and it looks like the driver could have even been a part of it. Many people thought it was a conspiracy with Russia or Cuba. We don’t know for sure.
Do you think that he would have been president more if he woulnd have been killed?
What are your thoughts about JFK death

I do think that if he had lived he would have run for reelection and would have probably won. I think that it happened so long ago that there isn't much point in trying to decide who killed him. that being said I think that he probably was working alone and didn't have help from anyone when he killed JFK.
JFK was a very young president and he was very well loved among the public. I believe that he could of served even a second term. I think taht his death could've been avoided but it is already to late.
JFK would have been president for his term unless he would have been assassinated. I also think that JFK could have possibly been president for a second term since he was so liked amoung the people. I think that there could have been another shooter. I also think that even if JFK had used the bulletproof roof that he still would have been killed if not badly injured.
I think that JFK would have continued to be president because many people loved him. There were some people obviously didn't like him but there has not ever been a president in history everyone in the United States has loved. I think that there are many ways that his death could have been avoided but you can't do anything about it now.
John F Kennedy was a pretty progressive president and he was very popular among the people. I think that if he had been longer for this world he would have had a second term, because he was accomplishing a lot. I think we learned a lot from this situation, because we now give our presidents much more protection than we did then.
I totatly agree with you because I too think that he would have had a second term because of all of the good he had been doing for the country. I also agree that we learned a lot of good from the event on how to further more protect the future presidents from that kind of sistuations.
I think that if John F Kennedy hadn't been murdered he would of definetly been a 2 term president. He was very popular among people and I think he would've gotten elected again. It was a such a tragic thing that happened to him and very sad.
JFK is one of the greatest presidents and I personally think he would have continued to be president if not assasinated. His death was a shock and tragic to many across the united states he was a huge role model to many of the presidents that followed him.
I think there is a possibility of him having more time as our president because many people did truly like him and he may have helped the world out a little more. I also think that it was a mistake of traveling in a convertible because not everyone is going to like the president and some people will do anything to get them out of office. I think that they could have been better in transportation because nothing is really protecting him.
I fully believe he would have been president for much longer if he hadnt have been killed that day. He was a great influence for other presidents after him and citizens too. His assasination was a sad one that hit hard across the whole country. I hope he was on good terms with all his family and friends before he died.
