In 1963, a young Bill Clinton, who would later become the 42nd President of the United States, had a memorable encounter with President John F. Kennedy in Washington D.C. At that time, Bill Clinton was a high school student and already harbored a keen interest in politics and public service.

The meeting took place during the annual Boys Nation event held in the nation's capital. Boys Nation is a civic education program that brings together outstanding high school students from across the country to learn about the American political system and engage in various activities related to government and leadership.
