Kennedy Since there is no clear absolute date for the beginning of the war, we could say President Eisenhower or Kennedy. There were advisors there during the Eisenhower presidency (1953-1961) but combat troops were sent in during the Kennedy/Johnson administrations (1961-1969).
At the start of 1961, Richard Nixon was the Vice President to Eisenhower. Nixon had just lost the presidential election to John F. Kennedy, and so his Vice Presidency ended on January 20 of that year.

Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford. There is technically no such thing though as the Vietnam "War". War was never declared by congress and thus is officially the Vietnam "Conflict" though I'm sure many veterans and those affected by casualties would disagree.
