In 1963 Bill Clinton was elected as one of two delegates to represent Arkansas at the American Legion Boys Nation. While in Washington, D.C., the 17-year-old Clinton met President John F. Kennedy, whom he admired greatly. Nearly 30 years later Clinton followed in Kennedy’s footsteps when he was elected the 42nd president of the United States.
