JFK was elected to replace President Dwight Eisenhower in 1960 (narrowly defeating Eisenhower's vice-president,Richard Nixon); he swept into office with a reputation for youthful charm,impatience,wit and vigor.Kennedy's term was sometimes called the New Frontier,a phrase he coined in his acceptance speech at the 1960 Democratic convention.Kennedy was shot to death by sniper Lee Harvey Oswald during an open-car motorcade in Dallas,Texas on 22 November 1963; two days later,Harvey was shot and killed by another man,Jack Ruby.Kennedy was succeeded by Lyndon Johnson.
