Formation and establishment of the governing elite of the USA appeared on the basis of negation of monarchy idea concerning the sacred nature of power and on the ground of developing notion of so-called “democratic” sacral power: each person could become the President, since each individual can force and push oneself to become the one, who deserves to be elected as the President. Vast competence of the President also caused rather serious requirements, set for the stated position. Therefore, the democratic elitist power system was established and formulated. Governing elite was absolutely open by means of its inner mechanisms: political parties, different political clubs, masonic lodges, and other governmental agencies. It forced them to demand quite elitist requirements from their members and participants.
Thus, people see “fathers of nation” in its Presidents, since these Presidents serve for the USA – this ideal scheme was inviolable for Eisenhower; however, real life negated it, since one of the greatest American Presidents, John F. Kennedy, could not manage to overcome it entirely.

After a while he managed to buy a net of cinemas in New England.
John Kennedy, the second out of nine children, was born on May 29th, 1917 in the family of Joseph and Rose near Boston. He grew up at the same place and spent his youth in New York. However, John was rather unhealthy child, avoidant one, and had uncharacteristic for the rest of his family love to reading books.
Since early childhood, father taught children about different political strategies. Robert Kennedy, younger John’s brother, recalled later that he could hardly recall the time when their family gathered together and they did not talk about politics.
Career of John Kennedy actually started with appointment of his father. When his father was Ambassador at the end of 30s, John lived in England, visited the USSR, Germany.
