Acts+of+JFK



JFK had many road blocks with congress to achieve a majority of his goals, so he, like countless presidents past and future, resorted to executive orders. He ended up collaborating with Congress. These are just some of the important acts/orders: good-quality surplus food to unemployed Americans, largest and fastest missile boost programs, expansion and increase of minimum wage, signing of the first nuclear weapons agreement, creation of the first federal program for juvenile delinquency and changes in the welfare system.
