Did John F. Kennedy have polio?
No- he had a lot of health problems but he escaped polio. Franklin Roosevelt was the president who had polio.
What laws did John F. Kennedy create?
Kennedy's back operations were not completely successful, and he was never again entirely free from pain. After recovering from his operations, he returned to his Senate seat in May 1955. He became a strong supporter of civil rights and social welfare legislation. The Kennedy-Douglas-Ives Bill (1957) required an accounting of all employee pension and welfare funds. Kennedy also sponsored bills for providing federal financial aid to education and for relaxing U.S. immigration laws.

Why John F. Kennedy was assassinated?
Lee Harvey Oswald had an obsession for being famous and historical. He even labeled his diary, "Historic Diary".
Nothing he had tried up until then (defecting to Russia, returning, trying to assassinate General Walker, trying to start a Fair Play for Cuba branch with more than just him in it...), worked.
Then he read in the paper that President Kennedy would be driven past his place of work...
I don't think he had anything that much against the President, but being famous meant more.
Oswald wanted to be famous and historical, and nothing else he had tried, worked.

We'll never know for absolutely certain why Oswald did it, the above is just the best we can do with our knowledge of him. Lee Harvey Oswald was assassinated himself two days later. We know that he had communist sympathies and had tried to legally renounce his US Citizenship.
There are some people who suggest conspiracy theories - for example, that Oswald was part of a plot to kill the President, whether it was by the USSR, the Mafia, Cuba, Kennedy's political rivals or even his Vice President (and successor) Lyndon Johnson. Some of the wildest theories go further and say that Oswald was framed.
There are all kinds of conspiracy theories but the whole truth may never be known. The most recent theory that I've heard is that Kennedy's policies did not did not please the Illuminati so they had him murdered. This would be more believable if the *real* Illuminati had not broken up in 1784!
It may have been as simple as Lee Harvey Oswald was a disgruntled nut.
Some honestly seem to think the most logical answer would be the fact that Mr. Kennedy would not sign off on Operation Northwoods. Operation Northwoods was a "false flag" operation which was designed by members of the United States military. Some even think, without any evidence of course, the CIA used Oswald as a Manchurian Candidate to carry out the assassination. They think the government has an unlimited and perfect capacity to keep secrets!
Some say JFK was killed because he was attempting to undermine the Federal Reserve and get the American dollar back onto the gold standard, which means that the dollar bill could be exchanged at a bank for actual gold. This act would undermine the Federal Reserve. There is no reason to think that Oswald cared about any of this, any more than Booth cared about the banking of Lincoln.
There is no evidence that Oswald knew or cared about Operation Northwoods, and still less evidence that Oswald or anyone else has *ever* been turned into a Manchurian Candidate. The human brain is simply too complex for even the techniques that might be available today, to do it. Conspiracy theorists will say, "but they used drugs!" but somehow are never able to name them, the dosage, etc. as no such drugs are known and proven to actually exist.
This is somewhat similar to how the conspiracy "theorists" claim that HAARP, an auroral research project with tours for the public, is the government's "magic wand" to do evil with... create earthquakes and tsunamis and the like. How auroras can be controlled into causing earthquakes, is never explained by them. I put the word "theorists" in quotation marks because theories have evidence. They are in fact hypothesizing, not theorizing, because hypotheses need no evidence-- they are just notions thrown out.
yes they can, there is no law that says that the President can not appoint his family members to Governmental positions
Why is John F Kennedy Jr on the Liberian ten dollar coin?
I was recently asked this question in my role as a professional coin dealer with current experience which started over 30 years ago. While I have no specific knowledge of this particular issue , I can offer an educated guess. Over the past 30+ year a practice has arisen of foreign governments, usually, but not only, from poorer countries to contract with private mints to produce coins with a face value which, from date of issuance, have an intrinsic value (the value of the metal from which the coin is made) which is significantly lower than the issue price. A royalty is paid to the issuing country. The coin cannot be spent in the issuing country. In fact if you were to attempt to spend it in the issuing country it would not be recognized as "real money". The premium attached is intended to induce a sentimental valuation based on the subject beingcommemorated or honored. In every instance that I know of, that actual current value of the coin is equal to nothing more than the value of the metal from which the coin is made.
Why Did Lee Harvey Oswalt Kill John F Kennedey?
He wanted to be famous and historical, and nothing else he had tried, including defecting to the USSR, worked.
Why was JFK advised not to go to Dallas Texas?
I don't think he was, although some of his security personnel may have expressed concern about him travelling in an open-topped car, which inevitably makes assassination by shooting or by bomb easier than in a closed vehicle. But Kennedy wanted to be close to his electorate- to show them that he was THEIR President, not just some remote ruler who was unaccountable.
The layout of the buildings along the route of his motorcade may also have given some of his bodyguards cause for concern, i.e. that they might have suspected that some of the structures might have provided a good spot for a sniper to hide in, in order to shoot the President etc. But this could have applied to any of the places that Kennedy visited- he couldn't stay closeted in The White House all the time!
It's also possible that a few psychics might have predicted his assassination in Dallas, but not known exactly how or when it would happen. In addition, Kennedy was a natural sceptic, and would not have placed much credence in the warnings they might have tried to give him.
N.B. In addition, Dallas is the capital city of Texas, which is in the American Deep South. The Southern States had long been resistant to Kennedy's policy of racial equality and anti-segregation, so after he had passed laws banning such things, there may have been fears that reprisal against him may be more likely in the Southern USA than in the North of the country. His advisers may have made mention of this to him, but his re-election was due within the year, and he may have been keen to try and win over Southern voters following the succesful resolution of the Cuba Crisis and his general personal charismatic appeal.
