This is USA testpreps explaination..."Many of JFK's "New Frontier" programs did not pass out of Congress because they did not gain support amongst many Congressional conservatives. There are many explanations for this- some considered him too liberal, others questioned his experience- but it should be noted that most of this programs DID find success following his assassination and during the presidency of his successor, Lyndon B.
