Kennedy And The Federal Reserve

The relationship between John F. Kennedy and the Federal Reserve is a topic of interest among historians and conspiracy theorists alike. The Federal Reserve, often abbreviated as the Fed, is the central banking system of the United States, created in 1913. Its primary role is to regulate monetary policy, oversee banks, and maintain financial stability. During Kennedy's presidency (1961-1963), he reportedly had concerns about the Federal Reserve's power and influence. One notable event was his issuance of Executive Order 11110 in 1963, which some interpret as an attempt to strip the Federal Reserve of its power to print money and give that authority to the U.S. Treasury. However, this interpretation is debated among scholars. In Hebrew, the Federal Reserve is known as הפדרל ריזרב, and in Spanish, it is called la Reserva Federal. The French term is la Réserve fédérale, and in German, it is referred to as die Federal Reserve. The context of Kennedy's actions is often discussed in relation to his broader economic policies and his assassination, which has led to various conspiracy theories.
