built 219 days ago
In January 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. He began working very long hours and traveling all around the country. A few weeks into her husband’s campaign for President, Jackie learned that she was pregnant and her doctors instructed her to remain at home. From home Jackie helped her husband, answering thousands of campaign letters, taping TV commercials, giving interviews and writing a weekly newspaper column, ‘Campaign Wife’, which was distributed across the country. In the general election on November 8th 1960, John F. Kennedy beat Republican Richard M. Nixon in a very close race. Before his inauguration, Mrs. Kennedy gave birth to their second child, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr.

On January twentieth, 1960, a freezing cold and snowy day in Washington, D.C., John F. Kennedy became the thirty-fifth President of the United States. When Jack became the president, Jackie, thirty-one years old, became the First Lady. She was the third youngest First Lady ever. The two preceding First Ladies were more reserved and grandmotherly, whereas Jackie was young and vivacious. Jackie knew she could never be like them, and she didn’t want to be either.

Similarly, when Senator Robert F. Kennedy was killed in June 1968, there was no general Federal statute that prohibited the assassination of Members of Congress. Public Law 91-644, signed on January 2, 1971, enacted 18 U.S.C. 351, which extended the protection of the Federal criminal law to Members of Congress, paralleling that extended to the President and the Vice President.
