Kennedy’s salary was
$100,000 with an additional
$50,000 to be used for
expenses. Kennedy refused
to accept his salary, instead
donating the full amount to
charity. His actions reflected
his desire to help the poor,
a desire that is reflected in
his policies as president.
He did not make his
donations publicly. Kennedy
gave a speech to the
University of Michigan in
1960. It would be the
beginning of the Peace
Corps, a furthering of his
interests in the needs of
people in the U.S. and those
abroad.
kennedy was the 35th
president and Lyndon
Johnson was his vice
president. His nicknames
were JFK and Jack. He was
assassinated in 1963 in
Texas after a little over one
thousand days as president.
The case over his
assassination is highly
controversial, especially
regarding the existence of a
second shooter who was
never identified. Lee Harvey
Oswald was convicted as
the man whose shot killed
Kennedy.
