Description: John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963), often referred to by his initials JFK and the nickname Jack, was an American politician who served as the 35th President of the United States from 1961 until his assassination near the end of his third year in office. Kennedy was the youngest person to assume the presidency by election. He was also the youngest president at the end of his tenure.
