January 20th 1961, the American people elected the youngest president in American history; a man who strived to eliminate prejudice, created the Peace Corps and stopped the Cuban missile crisis before it became an international disaster. This young man was the most positively viewed president, until a bullet went through his head, or some of us may recall it as the magic bullet theory. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated on Nov 22nd 1963, leaving a nation in shock and awe John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born on May 29th, 1917, making him the first president of the 20th Century .

At 1:00pm, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, President of the United States of America, was pronounced dead. The question still has yet to be answered to this day. Who killed president Kennedy, and why?

Warren Commission closing the case with no more effort of investigation. The idea of a lone mind, Lee Harvey Oswald, plotting to kill President Kennedy is all just too simple.
