John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) was the president of the United States from 1961 to 1963 when he was killed in the city of Dallas in the state of Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald, who days later would also be killed by Jack Ruby in a confusing episode when he was being taken to an investigation before a judge.
