He was in office for nearly three years. If your leadership can't be
proved in that amount of time then you don't have it.

And at the time he was shot, his approval rating was below 30% and it was
looking like he would not be re-elected. There's a good case that LBJ was
involved in the assassination because he wanted the office and being dumped
with JFK would have precluded him from being elected later on his own.

Like FDR, there's a lot of scholarship showing that JFK was a disaster as a
president.
