He attended elementary schools in Brookline and Riverdale, Massachusetts. Kennedy attended Harvard University, where he majored in government and international relations. Kennedy served in the military, Congress, and the Senate (Sevareid 213).
Kennedy was elected as the thirty-fifth president of the Unites States in 1961. He became the youngest person to be elected president.

President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 at 12:30p.m. while traveling in an open top presidential motorcade. The motorcade was traveling through downtown Texas when the incident occurred. The president was accompanied by the First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, Texas Governor John Connally and Connally's wife. As the motorcade passed the Texas School Book Depository, shots were fired from the sixth floor. Three shots were fired. One bullet passed through the president's neck and hit Connally in the back and wrist. A second bullet struck the president in the head. The third bullet did not hit the motorcade ("John F. Kennedy Assassination").
The Secret Service and the general security surrounding the President were not strict and made it much easier for an assassin to kill the President. Procedures in place and events of the day presented large holes into which any potential assassin could slip. The backgrounds of those in close contact with the President were not thoroughly checked. There was insufficient personnel to accomplish the task at hand of planning and executing the motorcade. The president was allowed enough leeway to plan a route which put him in harm's way.
