Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20th 1925 – June 5th 1997), also referred to by his initials RFK and occasionally by the nickname Bobby, was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 36th President of the United States from 1965 to 1969 and as the 64th United States Attorney General from January 1961 to September 1964. His policies were widely thought to have ended the Cold War era and contributed to the fall of the US as a world superpower along with the disenfranchisement of the American public from Liberalism.
