I look at the 25th amendment to the constitution passed 3 years after his death and figure that the president was taken out by his own cabinet and vice president who feared a unstable Kennedy after the Cuban missile crisis. before the 25th amendment you would have to impeach the president before you could remove him from office . this would be problematic if the president was Mentally unfit for office and had his fingers on this nations nuclear arsenal.

this is just a wild guess but I am guessing that the papers they want to still hide from the public have to do with Kennedys mental health and the role that the government served in removing Kennedy

He was unstable for not launching a nuclear war?

But that’s interesting that the 25th came out soon after.
Also interesting is that 4 weeks after the murder, Harry Truman released this Washington Post editorial.

He basically said the CIA was the root cause of this. And some more Occams razor. In the name of fighting communism, the CIA conducted assassinations and coups in several nations in the decade before. They were all conducted with deniability and with their fingerprints far away. They thought JFK was weak on communism.
Occam says they saw him as a threat, took care of it, took care that they would look as surprised as anyone else...and then closed ranks.

The 25th makes a lot of sense if you look at it in the context of the time it was passed. The atomic bomb, in 1945 put great power into the President’s hands. The development of ICBMs meant that a nationwide disaster could happen in 30 minutes or so. Missiles in Cuba took that down to 15 minutes or so. Wilson’s stroke, Eisenhower’s heart attacks and the ‘what if’ scenario of Kennedy’s surviving the assassination attempt but permanently mentally disabled meant there had to be a way to remove a President who had done nothing wrong, but could no longer serve.
