Q: Why was John F. Kennedy called Jack? A: Jack is a common nickname for John and it is what his family called him when he was growing up.

The name Jack dates back to about 1,200 and was originally used as a generic name for peasants. Over time, Jack worked his way into words such as lumberjack and steeplejack. Of course, John was once used as a generic name for English commoners and peasants, (John Doe) which could be why Jack came became his nickname.

Kennedy presided over the establishment of the Peace Corps, Alliance for Progress with Latin America, and the continuation of the Apollo space program with the goal of landing a man on the Moon. He also supported the civil rights movement, but was only somewhat successful in passing his New Frontier domestic policies.

According to Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.

Since the office was established in 1789, 45 persons have served as President of the United States. Of these, eight have died in office: four were assassinated, and four died of natural causes. In each of these instances, the vice president has succeeded to the presidency.

Martin Van Buren was, for reasons unknown, not present for the 1841 inauguration of William Henry Harrison.
